More hearty artists


HI All

Check our two more of our artists below!
Please pass on this blog address to everyone and anyone you know, so we can make this event bigger and better than ever!


Asha Daya

I am Asha Daya (34)…born and schooled in the Eastern Cape. I originally studied Fine Art (Graphics) at Rhodes University from 1992-1995 (taught by Dominic Thorburn).The work that I produced then was primarily based on issues surrounding identity/masks.I have explored various media including, litho, etching, silkscreening, charcoal/pencil & some painting. Since then my mood has lightened and my colours have brightened, and work that I produced is mainly exploring landscapes and people. My preferred medium of expression is acrylic. I also have ventured into event décor – I paint larger scale backdrops for weddings and smaller functions, on request, and do Henna painting for Indian Weddings, as well as creative parcel wrapping and painting of doorways, etc. as is traditional of Indian weddings….I am hoping to do this on a permanent basis at some stage. I also dabble in photography, beadwork, mosaics and anything creative that takes my fancy at the time. I have been working in Newspapers/Printing and Publishing for the past 10 years….

Ross Chowles

Ross studied (where he didn’t study much) at the revolutionary High School For Art, Ballet and Music in Johannesburg in the 70’s.
The last 30 years, Ross has been making ads during the week and painting on the weekends.
He has no style and is constantly trying something new. Often with disastrous results. Sometimes with pleasant results.
