JoLoè Art - News

News worthy and interesting:

Web store

We are busy setting up our web store so clients can buy directly off our website. We should have that running at least in part by end November 2010.

Book illustrations

Through our dear friend Cherie Colburn's introduction to Bright Sky Press we ended up, very unexpectedly and beyond our wildest dreams, in the world of book illustrations through drawings and photography.

We are exited to announce that the first book, Heirloom Bulbs for Today by Chris Wiesinger and Cherie will be released in November 2010.

Since we have had several further developments along these lines and are working with several other authors around similar engagements.

A family gone creative

Lately the creativity fewer started getting real serious in the Art Barn to the extend that our sons Jacques and Heinrich also started taking a serious interest in the art. XBox and TV now is a rarety for them and they rather spend time creating - exterior art for gardens, wood sculptures and petrified wood necklaces.

They are also vital in helping us stage shows and we are very proud of the way they engage with us. What a happy family - everything parents could wish for!!

Creativity and inspirational talks and demonstrations

After the success at Bayou Bend's Spring event in which Loela created some living art from the plants and trash (yes - we picked their throw-away heap and created some "stop-in-the-tracks" artpieces from it) and with the looming book signings, another unexpected avenue suddenly opened - that of passionately sharing creativity with others through talks, demonstrations and workshops.

Something fresh, different and new for the Corporate Art Collection

Ever since we started unveiling our creations, the most common comment we got was that it would be fantastic as large pieces in corporate hallways and banquettes.

When one of our now clients, a corporate decorator, started yelling with excitement at the sight of the works, we realized the potential impact of that avenue and therefore ….

We are now on a mission to bring these works to the attention of the Corporate Art Collectors and to give them something fresh, different and new.

These art works are energetic and organic – ideal for the corporate environment. They communicate those attributes so needed in the corporate workplace. They also continue to capture and inspire the imagination as one can look at the same work for months and frequently discover something new in it that you have not noticed before.
