Glendine, a South African artist based in the Karoo, skillfully captures the vastness of the Namib and Karoo landscapes through a balanced combination of detailed line work and expansive skies. Her artwork draws inspiration from decaying homesteads, weathered windmills, and dust-filled red sunsets.
In addition to her landscapes, Glendine's abstract masterpieces explore personal and introspective expressions of life. Her depictions of women evoke emotions of sadness, passion, loneliness, and haunting beauty. She often incorporates images and words to enhance the intimate nature of her art.
Glendine's vibrant color palette, featuring jewel tones, patterns, and touches of gold leaf, adds richness to her work. She increasingly incorporates fabric, found objects, and hand stitching to create layered pieces with depth and character. With a background in fine art education, Glendine has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in South Africa, including a recent solo exhibition in New York. Her artwork can be found in homes and embassies across the UK, USA, Australia, and South Africa.
Inspired by influential female figures like Ingrid Jonker, Frida Kahlo, and Helene Martins, Glendine's recent exploration of life, death, and spirituality stems from the loss of her son. This introspective quality has established her as one of South Africa's beloved and respected artists.
The artist's deep connection with the Karoo region has left an indelible mark on her work and life. Every aspect of the Karoo, from its sounds to its silence, from the sun to the stars, and from the dust to its boundlessness, ignites a passionate fire within Glendine, which she pours onto her canvas. Drawn by this enchanting environment, she has recently relocated to fully immerse herself in its inspiring haven.
Glendine has achieved the coveted status of being among the elite few in the art world, thanks to her mass-market appeal and the accessibility and joyfulness of her deeply personal creations. Grateful for her God-given talent, she acknowledges and expresses gratitude to the Lord every day for the grace to use her painting abilities to inspire and uplift others. For Glendine, nothing is more important than using her gifts to inspire, engage, and involve people everywhere on a daily basis.
