Elzette Welgemoed

Elzette was born and brought up in Langebaan but lives in Ceres at present. Her parents, her son and one of her daughters still live in Langebaan.

She loved painting from a young age but has painted full time since 1998.

She enjoyed using pastels at one stage but now works in acrylic on canvas board, blocked, in her unique, fun style, always including a chicken, or chickens, in her paintings which have become her trademark.

Elzette's paintings are filled with humour, often her 'couples on bicycles', 'in or outside cafés' or 'in a bath' enjoying a glass of wine in the sunshine.

She has painted for Bay gallery since 2006.
