JURIED BY    Toni Danchik

Living along the coast of Southern California has been a great source
inspiration for me.  Painting subjects such as birds on the beach,
sunsets, children building sand castles, dog walkers in the park, the
beautiful land and seascapes I find myself in, has brought me great joy
and fulfillment.   

Being born and raised in South Africa has given me some insight into the
plight of women and children living in the shanty towns and rural
villages with their lack of clean running water and the absence of the
most basic facilities.  My heart is tender towards children who have
been orphaned due to the ongoing HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa.  Through
my art I have been able to tell their stories and bring awareness to
their situations and I support several organizations that are making an
impact at a grassroots level. (See Acres of Love
<https://www.acresoflove.org/> and Wells of Life
<https://www.wellsoflife.org/our-story>)

My skills as a painter was honed by taking painting workshops with
accomplished artists throughout the country. Now I also enjoy teaching
art classes in a local gallery in San Juan Capistrano called MISSION
FINE ART GALLERY.
