Gill Van Wyk

Our instructor, Gill Van Wyk, is a respected member of our South Coast art community. She exhibits regularly and holds classes throughout the week.

Gill is chosen for her talent, infectious enthusiasm for art and her ability to share knowledge in a constructive way with people of all levels of development.

She was born in Queenstown in the Cape but has been in KZN for the past 32 years. She studied Art History and Zulu Cultural Art at Natal University.

Her deep commitment to the continent and it's mystery have led her to study and explore the art of the San people which appear in many rock shelters in the Drakensberg. Gill finds that life is never dull, never predictable in the KZN bush and she loves it's excitement.

She and has been painting African scenes for the past fifteen years and although Water colours are Gill's chosen medium she is just as at home using Charcoal and Oils as part of her "Artists Palette"

Gill is eager to meet you and accompany you on your tour, offering; tutoring, encouragement and insights into not only painting in the KwaZulu landscape but also the Zulu way of life.

The light is so different in Africa, the colours of the grass and trees hold more warmth than found in Europe and the sky is bigger and bluer than in the Northern Hemisphere - see for yourself…and come to understand painting in Africa as you spend time with Gill.

You can also quiz her about the use of trees and plants in the rituals of the Zulu
and
Get an understanding of the animals and trees, and their significance for the local African people.

Gill will be the tutor for those of you who join Painting Holidays-KZN to go on
