Gallery artist, Cathy Tate was commissioned by homeowners, Mike & Wendy Spargo, to create a 6 foot by 6 foot centerpiece for their beautiful mountain home. They wanted a landscape, but in Cathy’s representational abstract style. After the piece was created, the Spargos shared this photo of a very special place in South Africa called Mjejane. They decided to title the piece after this game and safari preserve. 

“Mike is from South Africa… and we visited a friend of his who bought a house in the Mjejane game reserve… just outside of Kruger National Park, a renowned preserve and safari. Literally translated, Mjejane means black rhino. We came to associate one’s special place, the place one calls “home”, with Mjejane. So, when we built our house in Marietta, we refer to it as Mjejane. A special place for us.”

The Artists Guild Gallery of Greenville welcomes Mary Adam. Her work is now on display.
