The MOOOI Gallery on the farm Jamstreet just outside Oudtshoorn is a unique exhibition area. An old dairy was converted into a surreal exhibition area. Where cows once stood to be milked we now exhibit sculptures. Artworks are from all over South Africa - an eclectic mix of paintings and sculptures. Adjacent to the gallery is a gift shop with funky gifts and the coffee shop serves mouthwatering cakes and light meals.

At the studio & gallery at 66 Main Street you can hear the stories behind my paintings and get a glimpse of my own life and work as an African artist. Visiting me is of course free but as an accredited Tour Guide I also offer township tours: Expect a fascinating experience of African culture, food, lifestyle and empowerment far beyond the usual Garden Route "routine". Optional: visit local artists.

Make sure you see the video prior to browsing through this wonderful museum. Spent a good hour and a half here and we were amazed at the thoughtfullness that has gone into putting this collection together. Both my hubby and my kids (teenagers) found this to be a hidden gem! If you're in the area you should give it a try, you wont be disappointed!

We were wandering around Knsyna on a sunny afternoon, and happened to pop into Jan’s studio. What began as a chance stop-in turned into a wonderful experience talking with Jan about his interesting life as an artist. He kindly offered us water, coffee, or wine, and made us feel at home while we looked around at his incredibly unique art pieces (all finger-painted!!!). His kind nature was apparent through his artwork and his actions. We really enjoyed talking to him and ended up buying some small pieces and a unique wine cork board. I wish I had pictures to share. An absolute must!!!!!!!!!!

A visit to House of Maria is a must. The artwork is exquisite and the atmosphere inside the gallery is so tranquil. For those of us who cannot buy the original artworks, there is an abundance of prints in all sizes. Superb to say the least
