Anny MADDOCK ✿

Anny Maddock is a South african artists, born in 1954 . She started drawing people when she was old enough to hold a pencil and was considered a child prodigy. She matriculated at Rhenish Girls High in Stellenbosch and then studied fine art at Cape Technical College. After qualifying she studied Fashion Design and then went into Textile Design. After her marriage and divorce she worked in fields as diverse as journalism, tourism, antiques and restauranteuring. She exhibited annually at the Grahamstown Festival with other Eastern Cape artists, but still maintained an exclusivity through only working on commission. She produces paintings of women, all in reflective mood. She feels these are metaphorical biography of her own spiritual journey and uses her beautiful daughter as a model.
Anny's paintings are exhibited in selected galleries throughout SA and Namibia. Art connoisseurs appreciate Anny Maddock's technical expertise but everyone can be touched by the beauty and soulfullness of her work. A fellow artist commented: "Each of Anny's paintings is like a line of poetry"
