Adèle Fouché
Since I can remember, all things art have captured me. My life has been spent learning, playing and absorbing creative expression. Mudcakes and colouring as a bairn, drawing, sewing and painting as a teen, ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing, teaching as an adult. Mostly self-taught, I have had classes with prominant South African artists: Lorette Espi, Cornelia Smook, Hannes Van Zyl, David May and worked under Corinne De Haas and Chris Morgan Wilson as well as having done online courses with Virtual Art Academy and AP Art training (US College Board).
For the past 14 years I have worked and lived as a professional artist and art teacher in a private and international capacity. As a teacher I have taught over 500 students (children and adults) to paint and draw, and have presented countless workshops in and around the Cape province.
