Malinda Crafford Venter

BORN:
KWAZULU NATAL DUNDEE
1978

Born in Kwazulu Natal Dundee and growing up in Ladysmith, I was enveloped by the natural beauty of skies contrasting against rolling mountains and hills, blended with the history of wars that were my surroundings. Balanced by the natural beauty of wildlife, captivated by a glimpse from a black maned lion that captured my interest, a glimpse never forgotten.

My desire to capture the beauty of our wild animals became my passion and drive behind my paintings and
will to achieve a realistic style. At the end of Std 7, In 1996, I committed myself to achieving NIC,NSC, N1, N2,N3,N4,N5 & N6 at Benoni Technical College, Devoting my studies to Art, Graphic Design & History of Art.
After I Graduated from College, I busied myself in Careers in my spare time sketched portraits or painted murals to maintain my artistic abilities.

2008 I took a liking to sketching Cartoons of Land Rovers in Pen and ink, These Cartoons form part of my portfolio. At present are favored for their characteristics, style and slight twist of humour.

This is my foundation, the zest behind my talent, which i wish to share openly with you, to devote my talents to our wild endangered animals, the inspiration behind my paintings.
Using oils as my chosen medium, to create a photorealistic style. to capture hearts who share my affinity for animals
