About us

Gaelle grew up in South Africa and with two artist grandmothers, one of whom studied in Germany, painting and drawing came naturally to her. This was encouraged first at school and later at University in Pietermaritzburg.
In 1982 after extensive travel she settled in Europe, which gave her the chance to further her studies in London where she completed a Foundation Course at the Byam Shaw, and a B Tec in General Art and Design at Kensington and Chelsea College. Her strong ties and regular trips to Africa inspire her work.
Gaelle shows a varied interest in subject matter, with a keen eye for the designs of nature and her innate curiosity this leads her to constantly experiment with different mediums and techniques, which is reflected in her paintings. Many of which hang in private collections in Europe, South Africa and the USA.

We both feel at home in Africa and yet are still in awe of the vast expanse of that continent and all that it has to offer the creative spirit. We would like to share this with you and invite you to join us. Our Painting Safaris are an exclusive chance for artists of any level, experienced or aspiring, to savour the beauty, excitement  . . . and peace of Africa at a pace which allows you to appreciate the smallest detail.  Our objective is to meet the local people, observe the wildlife, seek new vistas, paint at every opportunity, and simply enjoy ourselves. Come with us on a Painting Safari Holiday. The next Workshop starts late October 2008 followed by another in January 2009. See Schedules:  Day by day...
Barbara Jane (BJ) grew up in East Africa where the Indian Ocean, the Ruwenzoris, Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria were her childhood homes. Her father, Royston Boulter built the last stages of the famous ‘Lunatic Express’ railway line to the Mountains of the Moon. He was an engineer, an artist, and a cartoonist for the then East African Standard. BJ pursued a career in film as art director, then line producer. This took her all over the world, eventually giving her the chance in 1985 to return to her home country Tanganyika, now Tanzania. She settled in East Africa producing TV commercials and short films with international film crews, taking them on film and photo safaris and managing their every artistic and logistic whim. This gave her further opportunity to explore every corner of this part of Africa so rich in wildlife, people and  unforgettable landscapes.
