LYN HAMMOND

My name is Lyn Hammond. I work in oils, water colours, and mixed media. I studied art at the Michaelis School Of Art in Cape Town, and the Cape Town Art Centre. I have been studying art with Eileen Smithers in Johannesburg for the past 17 years.

JILL WELSH

Jill Welsh started painting at the tender age of who knows when, but loved it straight away. Her first memory of painting anything remotely good was a tiger at age 7. She was so disappointed when years later, after digging out this picture, it was not in the style of photorealism that she was sure it had been… and being a child genius was in fact a figment of her imagination. This did not stop her in her pursuit of the Picasso within, and she is still hunting to this day! From a Bachelor of Arts degree in Drama and English, Jill is now producing inserts on a teenage TV show. Her reason for participating in Art with Heart is to know in some small way, the money raised from this art auction is bringing healing to a broken people; bringing nourishment to a country in desperate need and bringing otherwise alienated people together to make it happen. Just the unity in this diverse group of artists coming together, to speak about our love for our neighbours, is a triumph in itself.

COLLETTE CRUYWAGEN

I started to mosaic as a hobby in 2002, since then I have completed a few commissions, sold works at fairs & made friends gifts. I also used to give mosaic courses for beginners over a period of 3 years before life got too busy. Mosaic is still part of my life but other interests have taken over.
