08 August 2018
Cecilia Maartens’ spellbinding paintings have for two consecutive years been among the top op entries in the Phatshoane Henney New... Breed Art Competition, and her work has also been included in the firm’s permanent art collection.What one would not expect then, is that while she has an astounding artistic ability, she is also highly proficient at crunching numbers. In fact, she worked as state accountant until she decided to give up her day job of 17 years to pursue her artistic ideals instead.
