Annemie Odendaal

Annemie has taken up Fine Arts a couple of years ago and has since won us over with her beautifully executed linocuts. She is inspired and fascinated by the human spirit and the balance between beauty and ugliness in everything encountered in her everyday life, love and travels. After obtaining her BA(BK) Information Design degree, she worked as a graphic designer for a few years, but then took a break, exploring other businesses and travelling extensively. She still had this gnawing urge to express herself and soon returned to art, but exploring it through fine art, rather than design, and a variety of different mediums.
“Through my pain and explorations I encounter growth and miracles which leaves me speechless and in awe. Even though life can be fragile and fleeting, still I’d like to stand still for a moment and reflect on those things that make this journey worthwhile, and hopefully inspire you too.” She has completed a three-month art residency in Paris at the Cité des Art and has quite a few exhibitions lined up for this year. Make sure you keep an eye on our events calendar, so that you don’t miss this fast-emerging artist’s work.
"Sometimes I feel that I can never be enough; other times that I am way too much. The truth is, I am more than I ever imagined I could be."
