Hello everyone, my name is Sane-Mari Botha and I am the founder of THE ART WORKSHOP. I have started on the journey of writing an e-book about Creating a Winning Art Portfolio. I am enjoying the process and have a lot to share with you. At this stage I have decided to do all the writing first and then start with the art work that will serve as examples and instructions. Being an artist, I can't wait to start creating. Below you can read an extract from the first page.
" I am a graduate of The Learning Connexion, New Zealand’s biggest Art School, where I obtained a Diploma in Art & Creativity (Honours) in 2011.
I have participated in various group exhibitions in Tauranga, Wellington and Auckland. I have had two solo exhibitions, most recent at The Depot in Devonport. I have delivered Art Workshops to groups of children to explore some of “The Masters” as well as private art lessons to develop creativity.
I believe that inherently everyone is creative. This creativity is unfortunately taken away from us by the development of inhibitions at around 8 years old and when we start to question whether our art is “good” enough. I have a passion for rekindling this creativity in children and adults alike, as I am fortunate enough to have rediscovered my creativity. I love sharing this amazing experience through workshops, art classes and my blog.
When creating my own work, (mostly painting), I take inspiration and ideas from naturally occurring shapes and phenomena in nature. I believe there is more to everything than just the exterior and that compels me to move away from painting popular or regular subjects, but rather my interpretation of line, colour, texture, space and form.
