Biography
Thelma van Rensburg
I was born in Pretoria, South-Africa in 1969. I have studied and traveled extensively over seas and
locally. I always had an interest in art, but did not pursue it as a career until 2000. You can say I
was a late bloomer. I have a B.A Hons. Degree in Physical education and Psychology. In 2004 I
decided to study art full time and received my B.Tech/ Honnours degree in 2007 and majored in
Printmaking and Painting.
My thesis focused on the Postmodern Identity. My interest is in the female form and the
fragmentation thereoff in the media. My main means of art making is manipulation of images with
photoshop. This allows me to create a phantasmic world of imagery.
