Featured Artist - Janet Dixon

Through the years Janet has been a great inspiration to me, as an Artist but also as a friend. Janet grew up in the Karoo. She loves painting aloes and uses them as a metaphor to allude to the resilience of the natural world as well as the inner world of the human psyche. Janet captures the stark essence of the Karoo landscape in her paintings. A visit to Oudthoorn is never complete without a stop at Janet’s art gallery, ArtKaroo in Baron van Reede Road.
