Artist Statement
Nola’s Garden – A collaboration with Nature
Nola created and nurtured her award winning indigenous garden over the past 12 years. She now takes from the wonder of nature and has produced a collection of vibrant canvasses entitled Nola’s Garden. From popping Pincushions, majestic March Lilies and alluring Aloes…she captures the essence of the Cape Floral Kingdom. Her brushstrokes have confidence as she is very familiar with this evocative subject.
This is a homecoming for the well known artist who has painted many dramatic landscapes from far and wide. Her past 23 solo exhibitions have included the Canyons of Namibia, the Baobabs of Botswana, and even the Himalayas of Nepal.
Opening Event
What a privilege it was to host Nola Mullar’s third solo exhibition on 28 March at The Studio Art Gallery and how courageous she has been to complete these magnificent artworks during a sad time of mourning her late husband, who recently passed away. Thank you, Nola, you are truly an inspiration. A special thank you to Cape Point Vineyards for sponsoring the wine. Opening speech by Aaniyah Omardien – founder of the Beach Co-Op.
