Umyezo

Painters' paradise

Umyezo is also the artists’ residence and inspiration, situated on the banks of the Kwelera River on the East Coast, north-east from East London, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. We do not have well-lit, tarred access roads, night - clubs, etcetera - what we do have is tranquility and silence (except for numerous birds: including the African Fish Eagle, Spur-Wing and Egyptian Geese and the Knysna Loerie). Canoe trips, forest and bush walks also provide inspiration. Beautiful beaches, game farms, restaurants and shops are only ten minutes away.In the near future both international and local artists will present a series of art and environmental educational workshops for both the professional and beginner. For further information contact the artist:
