artist and her undeniable
talent was noticed from an early age.

to sculpt and then to
combine the mediums of painting and sculpture. Audrey's unique design of the "pod people" reached a selective audience and has since created a strong following. Her portfolio consists out of a violinist,
flutist and several ethnic
woman - the Mesai, Zulu, Xhosa and Ndebele. This unique piece of art is
created from resin and wood and flows into a palmpod to round off this
very elegant looking sculpture."I mainly paint and sculpture women
because I think they are beautiful and
frankly, I find pleasing to
work with. Women have lovely curves and seem to comdine both softness and strength, qualities I love to portray in my work", Audrey says. Audrey derives a lot of inspiration from the Bible,
particularly the books of
Proverbs and Psalms. |
