Born and raised on the picturesque banks of the Vaal River, South Africa, Bernice Lemmer was nurtured in a creative family where artistry flowed through her veins.
From a tender age, her innate talent was recognized, and she was encouraged to explore the world of color and imagination.
Growing up surrounded by nature's splendor, Bernice developed a profound appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things. This fascination with the human experience and the natural world has always inspired and developed her unique artistic style.
Furthering her artistic journey, Bernice ventured to Pretoria to study at Open Windows Art Academy, a renowned institution for creative excellence.
This period of growth not only honed her technical skills but also deepened her understanding of the emotional resonance that art can evoke.
Today, Bernice resides and creates in a vibrant studio nestled on a serene plot, where the gentle sounds of chickens and goats provide a soothing backdrop to her artistic process.
This peaceful environment allows her to tap into the very essence of her being, unleashing a kaleidoscope of colors that dance across her canvases.
Bernice's describes it as
"Art from the heart, a treasure to see, adventures of imagination, wild and free!"
Bernice is presently exploring new dimensions of colour and expression,
delving into the beauty of flowers and mysteries of the feminine.
Her upcoming work promises to be a symphony of vibrant hues and textures,
reflecting the ever-changing tapestry of life.
As she prepares for upcoming exhibitions, Bernice invites art enthusiasts to join
her on this creative odyssey, embracing the beauty and wonder that awaits.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
