Featured work by Daisy Boman

Daisy Boman grew up in the Flemish part of Belgium, near Antwerp. Even as a child drawing was her favourite pastime and this eventually led her to enter the Academy of Fine Art, where she studied interior design and photography. She then proceeded to experiment with ceramics, and the new possibilities that this medium offers inspired her to go still further. In 1981 her husband was offered an exciting opportunity as an architect in South Africa and the couple moved to Johannesburg.

There, Daisy was selected for the National Ceramic Exhibition several times, and her work and the idea behind it matured, strongly influenced by social aspects and characteristics of South African society during Apartheid. After five years, Daisy returned to Belgium in 1986 and her first exhibition in Antwerp, a year later, "still had an African influence".

Daisy has had many exhibitions in South Africa, Belgium and France.
