Beautiful Mana eles in this signature piece hangin

Beautiful Mana eles in this signature piece hanging in the gorgeous window at @adlibgallery in Wimbledon village. To any english clients and followers, this piece is exceptionally beautiful and one in which you can lose yourself for hours amongst the winterthorn trees, along the banks of the Zambezi river
Framed with superior art, non reflective glass and floating in a white box frame. Please enquire.

“There is a place I call Heaven on Earth. Here time stands still. The silence, the heat, the majestic glades of Winterthorn trees, alchemise in to a transcendant space of serenity, tranquility and harmony - an all pervading presence.

Africa is in me as it is in you. It is a deep, resounding, pulsating life force, alive with rich memories of where we all have been and where we all long to go to feel alive…”

Our oceans are in trouble… Humpback whales tradi

Our oceans are in trouble…
Humpback whales traditionally spend much of their lives as solitary creatures or in temporary small pods of 7 or so individuals. They come together to mate, breed and feed. The huge superpods of sometimes 200 strong individuals, that have been appearing off our south west coast, has scientists puzzled. It is an anomaly. It doesn’t usually happen. Add to the alarm bells the devastating and utterly catastrophic seismic survey by shell off our wild coast, and my heart aches and despair sinks heavy around the continued abuse and blatant disregard of our oceans, and of mother earth.
Yesterday I had the exceptional experience of being in the midst of 80 humpback whales. No words nor images could do justice to this transcendant experience, as these graceful giants glided through the water and right up to the boat I was in. The sound they made was eerily otherwordly in its beauty and reverance. I wish for everyone to have this experience, to feel this close and this connected to a whale, if for no other reason than to understand and appreciate that nothing separates us and that nothing in those moments, besides 100% presence, is more worth fighting for and believing in, than their indomitable right to live freely in their ocean home, unaffected by humanity’s greed, insolence and selfishness. What will it take to wake up to the decimation of our natural resources, the natural habitats of all species with which we co-exist and their relevance in the web of life.
Go home Shell. Take your despicable and insatiable greed, ego and weapons of destruction off our coastline. Shame on the South African government for enabling this. It is a travesty beyond imagining. A veritable nightmare. My heart is utterly broken.
When you look in to the eye of a whale you will understand…in those moments nothing else exists other than unrivaled truth. The rest is illusion of a 3D reality in which man has surely lost his way.
HOPE 🤍
