“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” Leonardo da Vinci
We, as a team, have studied, taught and created art in extraordinary settings resulting in a fascinating collage of training. The deeply felt influences of the Renaissance, the Impressionists, special mentors and a creative passion grown from living in exotic and vibrant South Africa and the privilege of traveling internationally has formed and molded us to who we are today.
