WELCOME TO THE HOME OF KAROO MADONNA ATELIER

Karoo Madonna Atelier is a gallery and working studio space in the heart of Somerset West, Cape Town, a long-held dream now brought to life. Created as both a personal sanctuary and a space to share creativity with others, the atelier is where I paint, experiment, teach, and connect. More than just a studio, it’s a living, breathing creative hub - where art is made, exhibited, and celebrated with the wider community.

A bit about Glendine

My work is a reflection of my deep connection to the rugged beauty of the Karoo and my personal journey as an artist.

For over 30 years, I've drawn inspiration from South Africa's vast, arid landscapes, capturing their stillness and strength in my Karoo Landscapes, Still lifes, and Karoo Madonna series.

Recently, my art has evolved, becoming more expressive and bold as I explore more contemporary themes.

Coming soon...

This November and December, Karoo Madonna Atelier welcomes you to Kuns vir Kersfees, a joyful celebration of art, colour, and the start of the festive summer season.

Our first group exhibition brings together the original work of ten remarkable South African women artists, each creating in the same 30 x 30 cm format, offering a beautiful variety of styles and stories.

At the heart of this exhibition lies the spirit of the Madonna - the everyday woman who carries strength, creativity, and grace. Through their art, these women honour that spirit, celebrating the courage, warmth, and beauty of mothers, makers, dreamers, and creators alike.

This year, Kuns vir Kersfees also joins hands with Matla a Bana, supporting the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children. A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition will be donated to this important cause - art to uplift, inspire, and make a difference.

The exhibition opens on 15 November. Stay tuned for more details coming soon!

Art in all forms

Art can take many forms, and I love exploring new ways to develop and expand my creativity. If you're interested in collaborating on a unique project or product range, feel free to get in touch!

Personal Commissions

For personal commissions, I work closely with collectors to create one-of-a-kind artworks tailored to your space, your vision, and the stories you want your art to tell. Each piece is crafted with care, reflecting my signature style, vibrant colour, and the quiet strength and beauty that inspires all my work. Contact me below for a consultation.
