About me

Hi, I am Angelique...

no not really, I am signing as Angelique because first of all I sign my artwork this way and secondly who on earth would be able to pronounce my full name: Jaqueline Schulte-Zurhausen, which is quite a mouth-full and all my late husbands fault, lol, he came with such a difficult double barrel name.

And yes I am German by birth but have been living in beautiful Cape Town/South Africa for the past 23 years, where I raised my children, buried my husband and am now living with my beautiful Ridgeback and my Labrador.

I started writing and painting full time  in 2006, I had the privilege to study with Anne Schuster, who is simply the best teacher and I so much loved each and every class I was privileged to attend!

When you have children you tell stories...  When my children were young I used to tell them stories on our long walks home from work. Me being me and walking through the forest my stories were always about trees and forest folks etc...

Later in some of my classes I would 'wrap' information in little stories... So in a way I was always a story-teller...

Life Cycles

Life Cycles, yesterday I had to put down my beloved Ridgeback, he was only 9 years. He had been ill for almost a year, a tumor diagnosed last year had spread to his stomach; the last few days he was very frail and my heart was sore seeing but not believing what was about to happen. It was the second time I had to put a beloved friend to rest and it doesn't get any easier! But I do know he is with his sister now who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year. As I was cleaning the house, washing  his blankets etc today I couldn't help but thinking of life cycles; if you do Numerology you do know that we go through different cycles in life.  Well, since yesterday when I arrived back home I had this sudden feeling that a life cycle was completed, not only because of the passing of my dog.  The last few years for me were all about death, death of my pets, my husband, but also death in a spiritual way, letting go of many thoughts and thought pattern, letting go of many previo...
