The
charming village of Nieu Bethesda is set in the fertile valley of the Sneeuberg Mountains. It is so secluded that development took a back seat
leaving a rare historical integrity. It has become a popular
retreat for artists and because of its unique appeal, this is a place that
no visitor should miss.

More
about Frans:
"My sculptures feed off the nostalgia
of innocent times, lost in thought or activity. Sometimes they even
embody the thoughts or pictures born in a moment – but every piece
has meaning. To me, at least, they speak.”
Frans
Boekkooi was introduced to sculpture at the age of fourteen and won
his first major sculpture award (ATKV) at sixteen. He received the
‘Best on Show’ Award at the 2000 EPSAC Annual Exhibition. His work
features in collections in the UK, US, Australia, China and Holland,
as well as the Presidents Collection.
Frans is a sought-after
commissioned artist who works from ideas and / or photographs to the
client’s specifications and achieves an astounding likeness to the
subject. Among his clients are architects, interior designers,
corporate buyers and art lovers who want an exclusive and personal
work of art. He lives in Nieu Bethesda, a small village in the
Karoo, South Africa.
