ABOUT THE HOST
For Yola, nature is a place of connection, renewal and deep listening, and she seeks to transmit its beauty, mystery and subtle energy through her painted images
As a facilitator, Yola has spent years guiding others through their own creative journeys, meeting each participant where they are and helping them find their own voice rather than teaching toward hers
A fine art graduate who has exhibited in Cape Town and the UK, she brings real technical depth worn lightly, and a lightness and joyfulness to her work as facilitator, teacher and artmaker.
