CAPTURING THE MAGIC OF LIFE IN CLAY AND BRONZE

Maureen Visagé, a Cape Town-
based South African artist,
captivates her audience with her
vibrant creations. She creates
whimsical figurines in ceramic
and bronze that celebrate love,
joy, and the beauty of life.

Her artistic journey began as a
young child and nurtured by her
time at the Pretoria Art, Music
and Ballet School (Pro Arté), her
chosen artistic focus was on
sculpture(mainly puppetry) and
painting. She excelled both artistically and academically and graduated at the
top of her class in 1990. Her love for mathematics led her to study Actuarial
Science at the University of Cape Town. Despite her academic path and a
period working as an actuary in London, her passion for art remained steadfast.

Upon returning to South Africa in 2000, Maureen joined a ceramic studio and
quickly fell in love with the art of sculpting in clay. This was the start of a
transformative journey, allowing her to explore her creativity in ways she hadn’t
before. Over the years, her dedication and growing success inspired her to take
a bold step and, in 2011, Maureen made the life-changing decision to focus
entirely on creating art, fulfilling her dream of becoming a full-time artist.
