About "Journey of My Life"
This is a symbolic painting of my life. Having to walk life's journey alone to get the slightly open door and the end. Notice the little girl is very warmly dressed, whereas the man further along, my brother is sitting in shorts only on a bench. It looks like he is looking through one of the arches, but he is looking straight into the wall. Not aware of my struggle through life.

About Heidi
I was born and raised in South Africa. I spent on average 3 months a year on our family-owned Nature Reserve where wild animals roamed free. Our farm was situated close to the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa.
I was fortunate to have travelled the world extensively from an early age and have visited more than 55 countries.
My interest in art started in my mid 20's, where I was initially introduced to watercolor. Soon I realized that I wanted stronger vibrant colors in my artwork.
I then changed art teachers, after having to wait for more than a year for an opening at the top art school in the area. The BEST decision I made! My new Art teacher, Karin Daymond started me off only doing pencil drawings stills. It taught me so much on perspective and depth.
I now only paint oil on canvas. When painting, my main objective is to show the contrast of light and shade, next comes depth. I want people to feel drawn into the painting.
I lived in Italy for 20 years which exposed me to the typical Italian landscapes and lifestyle. I have also been part of several joint exhibitions in Italy with great success.
In 2019 I had a solo exhibition of 70 paintings which was held in Sansepolcro, which is situated in the Tuscany region of Italy and sold 80% of my exhibits.
Many other exhibitions were planned during 2020, but the Covid pandemic put a serious dampener on my plans, and I had to cancel at the time.
While living in Italy and longing for my home country, I was inspired to paint more African Art, which led to some of my best works.
In January of 2021, my life took a huge turn, and South Africa was calling! And in May of 2021 I decided to relocate back to Cape Town, South Africa for good. It was time to settle down - "There is no place like home!"
With the assistance of my Marketing Manager and partner, I manage to hold an exhibit once a month in Hermanus. This has proved to be a great decision ...
