The Himba people live in Northern Namibia and Southern Angola. This Himba mother was photographed in her village in far Northern Namibia. The smooth reddish skin effect is achieved by daily applications of a reddish clay mixed with ash and butter. These ladies apparently never bathe in water.

The Himba People live in Northern Namibia and Southern Angola, and are one of the last pastoral groups living in Southern Africa. Himba ladies are renowned for their smooth, reddish skin, and even the elderly are wrinkle-free. The effect is achieved by daily applications of an ochre-colored clay mixed with ash and animal fat. This lady was photographed at Epupa Falls, Northern Namibia on the Angola border.

Watercolor on board, sold. / This painting was inspired by a medicine story from the Crow Nation. The story is about an actual event that taught the People about the importance of love, devotion, sacrifice, bravery and unity. A couple wanted to spend some time alone and as was customary, chose to go on an extended trip far from the band’s summer camp. Individuals often broke off from the band and traveled alone or in small groups to visit relatives, trade, gather plants for food and medicine, and hunting. Distances were vast, so they might be away significant amounts of time. By adolescence, most had knowledge of the band’s basic migration pattern and destinations. The general areas would be located using topographical landmarks, stars, weather and plant life. When a band moved on it wasn’t difficult for members to predict their direction. In this story, time passed and summer turned to fall. There was an early snowstorm and winter set in early. There was deep snow followed by a prolonged period of harsh cold. When mid-spring arrived the band initiated the annual trek to intercept the annual bison migration and replenish stores. Summer returned once again and by then it was obvious the pair had disappeared without a trace, as none of the other bands they encountered had met with the missing couple, nor had bodies been found. With the passage of time their families assumed the worst and mourned them for dead. Many years later the band came to a remote place in search of game, an area they rarely hunted in. There was evidence of abundant game, sweet springs and running waters, protection from the elements and hostile eyes. They decided to stay awhile and as women set about erecting lodges, children spread out to explore the area. Eventually some boys discovered the partially collapsed frame of a lodge, the once white hides that covered it now hanging in tatters. Looking at the cooking pot still sitting upon a long – cold fire circle and deteriorated satchels, they knew this was a hunter’s camp from which residents departed quickly. Inspecting the area they found nearby two weathered corpses, practically skeletons, curled in fetal positions and embracing one another. The garments were discolored and disintegrating, damaged by sun, rain, and melting snow of many seasons. Nature was reclaiming the area and absorbing the bodies back into her self, they were almost hidden by foliage. Nearby was the disintergrated form of a large grizzly and within the rib cage a hunter’s blade. The children called their elders, who knew after Inspecting the weapons and bits of jewelry that here were was the pair who’d gone missing so long ago. The bones were buried on the spot, embracing as they’d been found, and in the same place was buried the bear’s body. Periodically the people returned this way, and each time shared the history with the new generations. A seedling had sprouted over the grave, and eventually grew into a massive oak, two trunks issuing from a single, wide trunk. This tree stood for many decades and may still be there today. It was believed the oak held the spirits of the lovers and the bear.

As some of you know I am having a bit of a pre new-year overhall today. I found this among some of my work. I thought I would share it. It’s very rare, because I only did about 3 artworks between 1997 and 2006 (LOL – seriously)! This work was done in mixed medium and happened when a friend suggested I try get back into creating artwork, so here it is! Needless to say I am very grateful to my friend who got me back into my passion! Thanks Shaun.

been reading about tribal child raising and the benefits, and we know I like birds… I began this art as abstract patterns, bubbles of pattern that transformed when I realised by putting a ‘fork in the road’ to the concentric circles, that I created an eye and beak. Before that, it could’ve been shown either way up. also, it transformed from earthy brown colours, to a colourful bird. ‘Is it art? ‘my teacher used to always question. He’s not here now. He’s just asking the question still! in my head! I like it-it’s bright, colouful and alive.

There is another part of me that feels empty. Hatred becomes me. My revenge are your nightmares. When you see me I will take away what you have taken from me. I will suck your life out into me.

The Hamar People are probably the most numerous of the tribal groups living in the remote Omo Valley in Southern Ethiopia. The ladies are particularly attractive with their pleated hair and shell jewelry. This young lady was photographed at the weekly market in Turmi.
