ARTIST BIO

Antoinette Pienaar

I am an Australian citizen living in Australia for 17 years, born in Zimbabwe Africa. I studied oil painting, watercolours and sculpture at the Jancke Combrinck Art Academy in South Africa. After many years of corporate life, I recently decided to take up my passion to paint and follow a life long dream to become a full time artist. Due to my love for African animals I photograph animals while on holidays in South Africa which have now become subjects for my paintings. My inspiration for painting is driven by the world around me, the weather plants animals and people.
