Carinda Appelgryn

•Born on 21 April 1971.
•Loves art sculptures and paintings   since a early age.
•Studied art at the Technicon in  Pretoria.
•Designed and manufactured props  for big companies like P&P,
 Makro & Gallagher Eastates to help  beautify and boost sales in certain  areas.

•Travelled to several countries to  gather inspiration like Cameroon,  Nigeria, Iran, Kich-island,  Shiraz~where I visited Persepolis and  also Dubai.
• I worked as a art-teacher in Dubai at  Emirates International School.
•I've been painting for over 20 years  and still loving every brush-stroke I  make.
• I came back to SA highly inspired and  motivated and did a big SPRING ART  EXHIBITION in The Maze at Rosemary  Hill.
• There-after I sold 26 paintings to  1 customer.
• I exhibited with Lourens Barnard  and  are currently working on a fresh range  of paintings.

•Nature is the core inspiration behind  my paintings and I used the elements  like;
 Earth
 Wind
 Fire &
 Water
 as my theme in my previous range  exhibited at The Maze.
•I love colour and my paintings are  abstract.
•I added my own 'element' to my  paintings many   years ago which is...  FEELING.
•My current inspiration is Crystals and  am loving it.

"As I dip my brush in the colour of my soul, you will not only see, but also feel the glow."
