NEWSLETTER 2020
A warm welcome to Greyton. During the weekend of 20-22 November it will
be the fourth GREYTON ART WALK. We build on the successes of the past.
Due to Covid 19 The Art Walk will be smaller this year, but still with lots of
amazing artwork. It is our prime goal to make Greyton THE art village again.
The organisers want to provide a venue to local, as well as artists from outside
Greyton, to exhibit art in all mediums.
Entrance to all exhibitions and the art route will be free. The organisers would
like to thank all our artists and advertisers.
CONTACT THE ORGANISERS
More than 400 artworks by 40 various artists will be on show and for sale
greytonartwalk@gmail.com at reasonable prices in the Art Centre and 20 galleries. Several artists have
opened their homes to welcome you to view and buy original artworks of high
quality. The “walk the experience” between the various galleries/houses was
very popular previous years.
GAW is very privileged to have the well known and loved PORTCHIE visiting
Greyton this year. He will be exhibiting and painting live at Via’s Eatery. WILLIE
JACOBS will also be painting at Willie Jacobs Art Gallery. The children’s art
competition under the capable leadership of Mariaan Ehlers, will be somewhat
smaller this year due to the lockdown. There will be huge prizes for the winners
CHRIS CLOETE in different age groups. Children’s Art can be seen in the Art Centre.
082 495 4019
To embody the “walk the experience” theme, the art route will start at the Art
Centre in the D.R.C. Hall. We invite you to experience the ambiance of the
village where you are most likely going to share your walk with horses, cattle
or donkeys.
Greyton Art Centre in the D.R.C. Hall will again be the main exhibition area for
25+ artists with more than 200 original art works in many mediums.
All the important info about the art route and artists profiles, can be found in the
GAW Explorer available from the Art Centre, Greyton Tourism and restaurants.

mountains and farmlands are waiting to welcome you. We invite you to come
and enjoy Greyton where leiwater is running along the narrow streets to serve
the historical houses. There are several restaurants to meet everyone’s tastes
and many guest houses waiting to accommodate you.
With all this on the menu, the weekend of 20-22 November 2020 is a must for
all true art lovers. Get on the donkey or horse cart and enjoy the trip to all the
various galleries all over the village, follow GAW art signs and yellow flags to
find all the artists.

Art by Rethea
I started painting a mere 10 years ago without any
formal training. I started painting in watercolours and
shortly thereafter discovered acrylics which I fell in love
with. The vibrant and rich colours really inspired me.
My passion is to paint this wonderful creation we have
been given. After the loss of our daughter, I felt the
need to seek the deeper meaning of life. It is then that
I experienced an urge to move to a new level in my art.
I started painting abstracts and found a new love in
what I do.
I currently exhi-
bit some of my
work at the
Greyton Art
Gallery.

I am inspired by the fragility of the world I see. I am
inspired by the environment in which I live and the
life that survives in the harshest of conditions.
I am making re-imagined, locally inspired plants out
of paper. Also watercolour paintings influenced by,
and referenced from, my environment. I am so lucky
to have a perfect gallery space at home, in the exact
space the works are made. Most works here were
made during lockdown. Sitting and painting without
plan or schedule but examining and appreciating
every little thing. The resulting exhibition is a good
example of my uncommon work.
This body of work concerns the fragility of the
landscape in which I live. I see these plants as a
reflection of the uncertain, migrant and displaced
condition of people inhabiting a place and of the
uncertainty of the future of the place itself. My
plants are a fusion of plant forms, designed to have
a life of their own. They are uprooted and in search
of a home. These plants are self contained entities,
on the move, as in this warmer world whole biomes
are on the move, looking for a place to survive.
I am also inspired by the media we as artists can
use to express our ideas: I have found that the
qualities of paper embody some of my ideas; paper
is simple, and it is fragile, it is easily manipulated
and easily discarded, but if taken care of, can last
indefinitely.

Michelle Holloway was born in Pretoria, but has lived
in Greyton since 1986. She started painting in 2000
and has had several solo exhibitions. Her subjects are
varied, old cars, buildings, animals and people, village
life and fantasy, but the common thread is humour.
She mostly paints in acrylics on canvas. Her work has
found a place in many local and overseas collections.
More recently she started animation, bringing move-
ment to her characters.
She reproduces her work on a wide range of products,
from prints, greetings cards and fridge magnets to mugs
and clocks. Michelle is the author of several children’s
books. The most recent one, published in 2020, “Talent
Competition!” (also in Afrikaans as “Talent Kompetisie!”)
will be on sale at her home studio and features many of
the quirky animals characters in her paintings.

Watercolours have been a passion all my life. I
have painted at every opportunity, wherever my
life has taken me. Since my arrival in Greyton
in 2013, I have spent much of my time painting
Greyton itself and its surroundings, the mountains,
trees, streams and wonderful flora that touch our
soul.
My paintings are now in private collections in
Canada, Germany, Sweden, the U.K. and South

I have found Greyton to be the perfect
“hideaway “ to explore the inner self that art
demands. I love the freedom and challenge
of watercolor and that medium has been my
passion for many years.
Recently I have experimented with acrylic
and collage finding new techniques and
styles.
I have participated in many exhibitions and
have pieces in many countries.

Born 23 November 1963 in Pietersburg.
After living in Tweeling in the Freestate
as the son of a vegetable farmer and
shop owner, Portchie matriculated at
Paul Roos Gymnasium in Stellenbosch
and also got his B-Com degree in
Stellenbosch.
In 1991 he began painting as a hobby and
later did some in house art exhibitions.
In 1994 he did a big solo exhibition with
100 artworks and sold out within the
first night of the exhibition, this is when
he decided to become a full time artist.
In 1995 he opened an art studio in
Stellenbosch where a lot of art galleries
started buying art from him. New solo
exhibitions soon followed after that.
Up until now, Portchie has held 74 solo
exhibitions and 39 exhibitions with other
artists, local as well as international.
Hi London exhibitions in Pall Mall street
are hugely sucsessful and attract people
from all over the world. His works has
been collected by big private as well as
corporate art collections.
More than 18 000 artworks has been
made and sold by Portchie thus far. He
blames the success of his art on the
unique character thereof. According
to Portchie, his work is a mixture of
impressionism and expressionism,
portrayed in a naïve way.
“I personally think that it is easier to begin a fresh style
in art without the influence of a bunch of teachers. I work skipping rope. At an exhibition I usually work with a third of

ART for OUTSIDERS
My engrossment with sculpture flows from my
preoccupation with practicing Psychotherapy, and in
my own Quest for Healing.
I retrieve broken and discarded pieces of wood which
call me. Then with hand tools I uncover the forms
shown to me by the wood. I also scrounge around for
iconic pieces of scrap metal and then mount the wood
on the metal in a precarious balance.
When viewed the pieces metamorphosize between
the secular and the sacred. They show my Mythology.

and started a family. She studied her Police diploma and was
promoted to Captain. Later on, Ilse picked up on her dream
of becoming an artist.
Her husband took her work to

Born in 1971 in the Karoo, I grew up
on a sheep farm. At an early age my
drawings gained recognition in the local
community. Life in the veld played a crucial
role in developing an understanding
of perspective, dimension and colour
harmony. I also developed the ability to
visualize and imagine a skill necessary for a
life of portrait painting.
Art was never an option for a full time
career. So, after Matric, and a distinction
in Technical Drawing, I studied Electrical
Engineering through the SAAF. After I got
my T3 Diploma in Electrical Engineering I
was stationed at the Air Force Base at Louis
Trichardt. It was during those Air Force
years that I started to develop my artistic
talent. From the start portraiture was my
main interest and still is today. In 2001 I
left Louis Trichardt to pursue my dream of
becoming a full time artist.
In 2003 I became a member of AUS (Artists
Under The Sun), in 2007 a member of
“The Portrait Society of America” and a
member of the “Portrait Institute” of the
internationally acclaimed portrait artist,
John Howard Sanden, and recently a
member of the Water Colour Society South
Africa (WSSA).
Today I am an accomplished artist, portrait
artist and teacher of portraiture, landscape,
seascape and still life painting both locally
and abroad.

Warren Voights Fine Arts
I was born in Worcester, Western Cape and at a
very young age my parents discovered that I have a
unique talent. I was drawing everything from pencil
sketches to cartoon characters. It was no surprise to
my farther as he also are a very artistic. With that in
mind, my parents enrolled me in the Hugo Naude
Art Centre, Worcester for after hour art classes when
I was 11.
By then I discovered that I could do paintings as
well. In the late 90’s I also had art as a subject at
Worcester Gymnasium High School. Throughout
my school and Collage years I’ve won multiple art
competitions as well as designing work for functions
and campaigns. Throughout my 20’s I’ve done many
paintings from still life, landscapes, seascapes,
famous landmarks to portraits and musicians.
I then became a member of the South African
Police Service in 2007. People always ask me what
inspire me to do paintings, I just respond by saying
“if it’s beautiful and I can’t take my eyes of it, it
should be painted”. My work mostly consists out of
Landscapes, Seascapes, Still-life, Animals, Portraits,
Charcoal and pencil sketches. I mostly use acrylic
and oils to do paintings but recently started with
watercolour again.
I created my own Facebook page, namely “Warren
Voight’s Fine Art” to post and share my work with
fellow artists and the general public. My dream is to
become a fulltime artist and to open my own gallery
one day and to teach people to be observant to the
beauty of God’s creation.

Messiah Art and Prophecy
“For the last year, prophecy has been the inspiration behind my
series “Yeshua in the Tenach” (Jesus in the Hebrew Scriptures).
Each painting/drawing aims to reveal a different aspect of the
identity of Jesus as the Messiah - High Priest, Angel of the Lord,
Suffering Servant, Son of Promise and Reigning King.
I prefer to use symbolism, that
requires the viewer to have to
search for the deeper, hidden
meaning behind the artwork.
Besides my original artwork, I
have prints and greeting cards
available of all my work.”

Mariet came across the medium of working with resin and
was instantly fascinated by the idea of capturing the natural
world in miniature. What appealed even more was the fact
that this world in miniature could then be carried around,
kept close, admired and loved. The absolute abundance of
our spectacular nature in South
Africa and Greyton, with all of the
diverse fynbos, flowers and fungi
has been a continued inspiration.
