Having previously worked as an accountant, Sarah Le Vallois is a housewife who recently caught the art bug, drawing beautiful representations of Namibia’s fauna and flora. She has only been doing art over the last two to three years and has fallen in love with it. Her artwork is currently showing at the Swakopmund Muschel. It commenced on 21 December and will run until Saturday, 11 January.
Le Vallois’ pencil-drawings of Namibia’s fauna and flora in filigree are created with such an attention to detail, that they appear almost photo realistic.
Playing with light and shadow she created three-dimensional drawings in such great detail, that it almost invites you to touch the textures depicted. “I am inspired by nature in Namibia and the shapes of our plants,” Le Vallois tells The Namibian. Currently living on a farm outside Windhoek, she has plenty of that inspiration on a daily basis.
The exhibition was opened by Judge Gerhard Maritz at the Muschel in Swakopmund.
