Frances Wedepohl is a South African landscape artist living in Johannesburg. She has a background in architectural draughtsmanship but has always been drawn to painting and is now a professional artist. The great South African landscape artist J H Pierneef has had a significant influence on her work. She is drawn to the balance and serenity of his paintings and to his mastery of light.
‘I love precise brushwork and intricate details, with a strong focus on line, colour and shape. I mostly work with a limited palette in oils, loving the variety of colours that can be created. I am inspired by the South African landscape in all its diversity.’
