Artist biography
On returning to South Africa, Antoinette spent 3 years exploring printmaking at Michaelis Art School. Antoinette combines both her painting and printmaking skills in her unique style where the playful, subtle quality of the painting has a curious dialogue with the rigid pattern or text of the print.
Antoinette presently works from Eastside Studios in Salt River, Cape Town.
