\u2019n Ou bekende is terug in die stad en op \u2019n sonnige herfsoggend gaan klop ek haar op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Este Mostert maak haar groot houtdeur oop en verwelkom my met haar sagte aura en die innemende glimlag wat so tipies is aan haar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek gaan pluk \u2019n bossie spinasie in haar agtertuin terwyl sy begin om vir ons \u2019n quiche te maak vir ontbyt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die praat borrel uit ons monde in honderde verskillende rigtings want ons wil stories inhaal en uitruil en terselfdertyd praat en \u201cbrainstorm\u201d<\/span> oor wat die toekoms inhou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n N\u00e1 ontbyt stap ons deur die mooi tuine van die Tuff Top-landgoed buite Bloemfontein waar Este woon en gaan kyk na die venues waar sy beplan om werksessies en kuns-uitstallings te hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Terug in haar lekker ligte, ruim kunsateljee moet sy eers deur \u2019n paar bokse, wat steeds onuitgepak staan n\u00e1 haar onlangse verhuising terug na die stad, grou, op soek na haar foto-albums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ek het as kunsstudent naweke en vakansies by Este begin werk by die destydse Abri-ramery en galery. Sy was vir my \u2019n mentor wat diep spore in my lewe gelaat het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ons sit met \u2019n glasie wyn en kyk na foto\u2019s van ons jongdae by die galery en raak nostalgies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ek het \u2019n paar vrae aan Este gestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBloemfontein was vir my altyd die normale bestaan van kerk, skool, werk en veilige vriendskapskringe, asook die kosbare herinneringe van die werkspan in my ramery en galery wat deur hope lojale kli\u00ebnte besoek is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie omstandighede het my onwetend in \u2019n euforiese ruimte geplaas waarin ek gefloreer en sekuriteit ervaar het, deur net \u2018Este Mostert\u2019 te wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo het daar egter \u2019n vinnige en lewensverander\u00adende wending in my pad gekom wat my, as ek nou terugkyk, net ryper gemaak het as mens en as kunstenaar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTerug in Bloem kyk ek in dankbaarheid na my tussenin-reis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJa ek is gelouter, geslyp en weer gevorm, totdat net my ware identiteit kon oorbly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is vir my belangrik dat ek deur my proses van herhaaldelik val en opstaan, steeds kan hoop en inspirasie uitstraal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSmalend ges\u00ea, is ek nou \u2019n veel ouer en wyser weergawe van \u2018Este Mostert.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie lewe het my geleer dat al voel ek hoe onseker of alleen, ek altyd my vrede en vreugde kan terugvind deur vas te klou aan my verhou\u00adding met God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is vir my \u2019n verrykende proses om my ervaring van my lewens-leerskool en kunstenaarskap te deel met mense deur kreatiewe aktiwiteite, werksessies en klasse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het ons mooi land deurkruis, en ook in Frankryk \u2019n draai gemaak. Daar was soveel geleenthede en karakters op my pad van soveel draaie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJa, dit is seker die beste ding as jy kan wortelskiet en leef, maar as jy nie vir dit bestem is nie, dan moet jy beweeg en vorentoe gaan in geloof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie prys daarvan is dat jy \u2019n pad vol engele raakloop en gese\u00ebn word deur soveel situasies en gebeure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie grootste dankbaarheid is dat ek \u2019n talent het wat niemand van my kan weg\u00adneem nie, en waardeur ek \u2019n bestaan kan maak op enige plek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cElke kunswerk, van hier af vorentoe, sal \u2019n eerlike weergawe van my ervarings\u00adw\u00eareld weerspie\u00ebl en \u2019n stukkie van my siel verklap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk is terug! My basis is die groen graslande en parkagtige tuine van Tuff Top. Dit is hier waar ek binne die geriewe van die gasteplaas Tramonto, wat deel vorm van Tuff Top, gaan klasse aanbied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUitstallings, werksessies en kreatiewe funksies vorm alles deel van die beplanning.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Ou bekende is terug in die stad en op \u2019n sonnige herfsoggend gaan klop ek haar
