About "Verlorenvlei: Verlore Toekoms - Lost Future"
I made this etching for a group exhibition at Anthea Delmotte Gallery in Piketberg - September 2010. We gave social commentary and objected to the possibility of a tungsten mine near Verlorenvlei, near Elands Bay. A tungsten mine in that area, which is a Natural Heritage site, will be disastrous to the animal life in the area, that is why I etched the pelican flying upside down.

About Gretha
I liked drawing things from an early age - I remember trying to capture the beauty of the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, my country of birth when I was a mere four years old! I guess I can say I enjoy to create, whether it is an oil painting or an etching, it does not really matter what I am creating, as long as I enjoy what I am doing.
I think it is the whole process of being immersed in my work while creating it, my eyes see something, my heart gets a feeling for the subject and then, the final stage, my hands make the artwork. Life inspires me - people around me, wildlife in their wild surroundings, the beauty of God's creations - I try to capture this all in my art.
