Cassie & Adri Pretorius

About the Artists

Both Cassie and Adri were born and raised in Africa in the Kalahari region. Although they grew up in the same part of the country, they did not meet until 1996. Cassie studied at the Witwatersrand College in Johannesburg. After extensive travelling through Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi and Zaïre, he settled in Tanzania. During his travels, he aquired a huge base of original subject matter for the other passion in his life - Pyrography.

Adri, being naturally gifted in art, supplemented her income earned by selling paintings and doing commissioned murals. When they met, Cassie recognised her talent and introduced her to Pyrography. Together they built up an impressive portfolio of works and exhibited at shows and trade fairs in three countries. Through this exposure, their work has found its way to a host of public and private collections throughout the world. The couple is currently residing in the U.S.A. where they continue to charm people with their artworks on leather.
