I am honoured to have been asked by co-owner and exhibition curator, Marc Alexander, to participate in this wonderful exhibition at the Studio Art Gallery in Simon’s Town, with my original framed portrait of Nelson Mandela. The work was completed in 2002, based on a picture published in a local newspaper, which gave me permission to use their photograph as a reference.

This group exhibition will pay tribute to Nelson Mandela’s peace-loving legacy and the Fish Hoek centenary, by showcasing a collection of paintings, sculpture and some prized collectables of Nelson Mandela, as well as several artworks depicting scenes in and around 100-year-old Fish Hoek.

The opening event is at 6pm on Wednesday 18 July. At 7pm, the same evening, Noordhoek Auctioneers will be conducting a fundraising auction, where patrons will have the opportunity to browse and bid on various items to raise funds for the False Bay Hospital.

Other participating artists include Marc Alexander, Donna McKellar, Craig Ivor, Cliffy Browne, Ray Potter, Trevor Samson, Hubert Barichievy, Richard Shimkus and Tania Lee, so it is really well worth a visit.

The exhibition encloses on 9 August 2018.

At the same time I am running my own tribute to Madiba, by offering A5 prints of the Mandela portrait to people who were born on 18 July. Visit my Facebook page for details.

    I started my 'journey' with Scraperboard or Scratchboard Art in 1968. Since then I have been working exclusively in this medium.
