If you trundle along Clarence Drive in the Western Cape, you'll find yourself in the Overstrand , a fynbos wonderland perhaps unassuming from afar, but step closer, and this landscape whispers its secrets, revealing a world of intricate beauty, little by little.

 Over the past year, a fusion of creative minds—Catherine Brennon, Rix Wellmann, Lee Ann Ormandy-Becker, and Monique Day-Wilde—have met for what they affectionately call "play dates." These sessions are vibrant exchanges of ideas, fuelled by the magic of their surroundings. The result is a dynamic and eclectic collection of both collaborative and individual works: Ceramics, Painting, sculpture, Printmaking, Mixed media, and Stitching explore both the small details and ‘the bigger picture’.

 Rooted in the natural beauty of their shared home, these artists explore the deep connection between place and self. Their works—both figurative and botanical—invite viewers to contemplate how our external world shapes our internal landscape, creating a dialogue between the two.
