Wendy Potgieter

I am an artist who explores themes of inner peace, contentment & the resilience of life. Inspired by the principles of Santosa & Pura Vida, my work encourages a sense of joy & gratitude for simplicity & invites viewers to appreciate the beauty in everyday moments.

My paintings are often nature-inspired or socially reflective, blending vibrant colour, symbolic detail & emotional honesty. Whether I’m painting ocean shipwrecks reclaimed with coral life or integrating yoga poses into expressive compositions, I aim to highlight the balance between human impact & natural growth.

I often include subtle words or messages within the imagery, reminders of life, growth & hope, encouraging a deeper look & gentle reflection.
