‘Our paths crossed a few years ago in South Africa. I had seen a YouTube video of Leonie explaining her fascination for colour, paint and art. I was hooked.

Her animated gesture and expertise resonated and I decided to find out more about her. To my delight, she lived close to my parents’` home so on my next visit to South Africa I enrolled in one of her courses.

I have since been back to learn from her a few times and I am so happy she agreed to be my guest this week.’ (Sonja Smallheer – https://www.sonjasmalheer.com/blog/leonie)
