About "The Cat Walk"

I created the work after being inspired by a girl who entered for a beautiful competition wearing an oversized shoe. People laughed at and discouraged her but that never dampened her will to continue with the competition. She was so confident and at the end she won the competition. Every time I think about the girl I get motivated to never give up in life.

About Nombeko

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Nombeko was born and bred in the former Transkei, Eastern Cape in a small village called Tsomo. She grew up on a farm in the Kei River valley. As a child she never had a chance of owning a book or a pencil. In school she wrote on a slate or on a flat stone if the slate was broken. She used to scribble on stones, gaalboom and aloe plants. Nombeko's art passion started at a very young age when she and her cousins used to draw each other on stones and gaalboom. In her primary and high school she didn't do art as a subject. She did art as a subject when she enrolled for her diploma in Education at the college. Her love for art led her to be a Foundation Phase Art teacher.
