Lida Grobler is a local Plettenberg Bay artist who believes that anything can become a painting – if we take the time to observe. A self-taught creator, she explores patterns, lines, shadows, and depth, bringing realism to life with undertones of abstract and contemporary influence. Specialising in portraits, animals, and intricate landscapes, she transforms blank canvases into stories that breathe.

Working with oil, acrylic, and charcoal, Lida captures emotions, movement, and reality in a seamless blend of form and skill. She lives on a small farm with her husband, surrounded by the animals she loves – horses, dogs, and donkeys – where inspiration is always within reach.
