Thea Darlow

Thea was born in Matabeleland, Zimbabwe, but has lived in Cape Town for the past 30 years.

Her mother is a watercolourist and Thea originally followed in her footsteps. 

Thea's love for watercolour painting has earned her Merit awards from the South African Society of Artists as well as the International Watercolour Society. She recently submitted a watercolour of "Children on the Beach" to Zeitz Mokaa in Cape Town which is hanging in their latest exhibition of Cape Town Artists work.

Thea also paints in oil and acrylics. She has her own unique style in each medium and her love for her subjects shines through. Her series of "Trees", in oil, often with Table Mountain as a backdrop were exquisite as are her "Donkey" series. Her paintings in acrylic of yachts are vibrant and full of movement.

She is passionate about her Art, which shines through in each piece. Her use of colour is exciting too.

Thea has exhibited her paintings in Bay Gallery since 2008 and there is always something new and exciting to look forward to.
