About "Acacia Under African Sun"

Africa is hot and wild. Sitting in the bush the sun bakes, elephants roar, monkeys chatter in the trees and lions roar in the distance and always the relentless midday heat. The only shade is the acacia or thorn trees. Thus they provide shelter and life from their nutritional leaves. Gadd has used the colors of Africa to convey the bright and burning place. The African symbols in the background convey messages of hope, love, ubuntu (working together), happy marriage, creativity, friendship, beauty, balance, forgiveness etc. In using these ancient symbols, Gadd hopes to imbue the hanging environment with positive messages and warmth. Gadd has herself been charged on two occasions by rhinos, so the danger and yet intrinsic beauty are close to her soul.

About Ann

I have created several series of works, Wild Africa, Prey.Pray. Zulu Lulu, and the "EWE or sheep series."
In 2006 Ann started her Ewe series of works, which propelled her into local and global recognition.

In addition, Ann is a published writer, journalist, teacher and facilitator of Art &workshops targeting corporate, domestic and educational target markets.

"I believe we start by learning to express ourselves creatively in the physical form. If we pursue this passion with courage, diligence and discipline, we come to the realization that we are the canvas: - and as such, are both the creator and the creation. Creativity then becomes who we are, not just what we hang on the wall. - Ann Gadd
