Petronella is a contemporary abstract painter based in the coastal town of Hout Bay. Having spent a decade of her childhood in the remote Kalahari, its landscapes, textures, and quiet beauty continue to shape her artistic practice.
 

 

While inspired daily by the Cape, she finds herself continually drawn back to the memories of the Kalahari, embracing them as an enduring source of creative expression.
 

 

Her work is rooted in a deep appreciation of place, reminding us of the importance of remembering where we come from and staying connected to the earth.
