Local Artists, Local Friends

Fat Tuesday in Kloof is currently hosting an exhibition showcasing two local artists, Sue Whitmore and Anne Cleveland.

Sue Whitmore's exhibit is entitled "Carpe Diem", and was inspired by the love of life that her son brought into her home. She says "As I grow older and hopefully wiser, I have started to notice the incredible value of innocence, of seizing the moment and living it with the abandonment of pure, unfettered enthusiasm."

"The Conservation of Wetlands" is the theme of Anne Cleveland's contribution, which clearly displays her deep love and appreciation of the birds endemic to these threatened habitats. She uses a sure touch and a fine eye to bring these beautiful birds to our notice.

This exhibit is now on, and the gallery will be hosting a walk-through tomorrow morning, Saturday 19 November at 10am.

And, once you've admired the amazing artwork, Bellevue Cafe can offer an equally amazing coffee, tea or lunch, to make your visit complete.

Fat Tuesday is at Bellevue Campus, 5 Bellevue Road, Kloof, and you can contact them on 031 717 2785 or shannon@fattuesday.co.za.
