S ome kind of good karma brought Lorna and Sarel to Hawaii to work this year. Yep Hawaii. Enjoying the sun while working on an amazing historical project - King Hulihe'e's Summer Palace in Kailua Kona - wow what a wonderful adventure for the team! Sarel is doing all the work, while Lorna is developing and creating some new and exotic pieces to show in the 2009-2010 show circuits. She is doing many drawings and watercolors too.

D estiny works in mysterious ways. If you imagine the odds of two people- from different continents, whose work both compliments, and at once completes the other's, whose temperaments and drives work together,-for these two to even meet, let alone fall in love, and build a dream, this proves that MIRACLES DO HAPPEN! Expect one today! (Visit our personal pages at right, or choose pages from Adventures In Elegance at left)
Lorna Vincent-Venter
Lorna received her
Bachelor of Art degree at Fairmont State College. She has had
many years experience as a professional artist, teacher and computer
graphics designer. She is happy to have found her Dharma, her
path in life, and hopes that she can be a catalyst for others to
find their dreams and live them.
"My inspiration comes from many sources, some of my favorites being: Children, nature, animals and the human form. Some favorite artists of mine are: Auguste Rodin, Gustav Klimt, and of course; Michaelangelo!
"I have many reasons for being an artist. First and foremost, it is all I have ever truly been. I knew before I could speak that I would have to create all my life! I have gained the need to share my art with others, to share a different perspective and touch lives by doing so.
"Reiki is another wonderful part of my life, and a blessing in so many ways to me. If you would like to learn more about this alternative healing technique, please contact me, or follow some of my personal links at right. "
Sarel Venter
Sarel was born and raised
in South Africa. He attended the University of Port Elizabeth. He
then moved to the island of St. Maarten where he and his father
were contractors. He moved to the U.S. in 1991, and became a US Citizen in 2007! Sarel loves the
U.S. "Where else but in the United States could a man live
his dreams, and help others appreciate life along the way?"
Apoliceman, a boatbuilder, a general contractor; Sarel's history is filled with many careers that have lead him to his art today. While working as a drywall contractor, he began dreaming of architectual designs, drawn from both history and his vivid imagination. He started creating in homes in West Virginia a few years ago, and while not thinking of himself as an artist, he became one. With his vision, he steps into a project and designs environments for his clients. Because of his background, Sarel is able to install his designs as permanent architectual detail in homes and commercial spaces. Each project allows Sarel to go another step with his art.
Sarel has been working passionately in the restoration field, where he uses his vast knowledge and skills in old style lime-plaster as well as his knack for problem solving. He is currently (Jan 08 through Sept. 08) working in Hawaii, on King Hulihe'e's Summer Palace in Kailua Kona.
