Hester is a South African Artist and she has been awarded as a Top 25 Finalist in the ARTi Gallery Art Competition 2023!  

About this piece: 

Argus, as in the Roman Mythology of Mercury and Argus, has 100 eyes. I used the painting of Diego Velazques as my inspiration to debate the modern-day giant with even more than 100 eyes - Social Media - lulling Argus into a trance instead of Mercury's lulling of Argus into sleep with his flute to behead him. Social media robs modern-day Argus of his head in another way. 

About the Artist: 

Hester is passionate about Art and Science; she continues her interest in both fields through studying continuously. Her art projects are done with a lot of research and planning. She is inspired by Picasso, Chagall and Klimt amongst others. Symbolism includes birds, butterflies and jesters/clowns. She has a keen interest in the therapeutical value of art and is a qualified Art Counsellor. Healing through art is a great passion. Art is her tool for communication and to raise awareness.

She uses many mediums in her art namely oil, acrylic, charcoal, ink, gold leaf and pastels. She concentrates on portraiture, but draws or paints animals, still lives, flowers and landscapes. Her next medium to master is graphite. She loves design and photography, designs and makes costumes for models and mostly photographs her own reference work. Some art works are productions from start to finish.

She enjoys collaborating with photographers where she art directs for a specific work. She enjoys taking part in Art Competitions and has entered the National Portrait Awards four times with five works in oil. Her 2023 entry was in the top 250. She has been a semi-finalist twice and a finalist for three consecutive years in the national Vuleka Art Competition open to the continent of Africa. Her work is described as deeply emotional and storytelling. She enjoys doing larger works, but has completed miniature works since 2022, some complying with the international standards for miniature art.

She loves interacting with other artists and enjoys encouraging others to do better. She has taught creative art in schools and enjoys the interaction with children. She is serious about honing her skills with Master Classes and is passionate about meeting fellow artists and sharing skills – a scholar for life.

Quality grills for e46 BMW
Size: For BMW E46 2002-2005
No reason to buy replacement grills at the dealer or even at an auto parts store. These are great quality for a fraction of the price...and you get both sides. Highly recommended if you have an e46 and the grill plastic has deteriorated and is loose. These grills are thick and robust. I like them better than the original. Fit is snug but they look great.

Fits like a glove

I was kind of skeptical to purchase this grille but ended up pulling the trigger on it , installation was not that hard, the hardest part is to swap the camera attachment to the non camera one , after that everything was a breeze, looks great and the material quality is no different from oem, will do another review after couple of months to give more info on the durability and paint fading ( if there’s any, hope not)

Style: Gloss Black Single Slat, Size: G20(2019-2022)
Another great Amazon buy. Don't let the price or the crazy brand name keep you away. When I took the OEM grill off and compared it to this, it was pretty much spot on. All the clips are located in the right place, fits nice & snug and looks great. The most trouble I had was figuring out how to insert the front camera delete. There are no directions or videos explaining it. Once I concluded there's only one logical direction, I held my breath and applied the force that was needed to snap it into place. After that, it was a breeze (thanks to an unaffiliated YouTube video). Time will tell if it holds up (didn't like the other review that showed paint feeling off after a few weeks; not sure what that's about). If mine does the same, I'll surely update my review. For now, Highly Recommended.
