Paint and Sip : a journey with African art
“Art enables us to find ourselves and loose ourselves at the same time”
Meeanjin held its very first African paint and sip event recently that was organised by Bomoko Women Events. Not only was Diva Headwraps invited to do a headwrap demonstration, but also to participate in the painting class alongside a tribe of queens. These images capture the very essence of this immensely fulfilling afternoon!
Participants were encouraged to choose from a selection of bright acrylic paints and texture pens.
Listening attentively as Anna, our workshop facilitator, instructs us on what to do.

Totally immersed in creating while my daughter spins some rad tunes in the background.
Queens wearing headwraps from my tie-dye and cotton collections.
Anna is a digital artist and the founder of Bomoko Women Events. She was also our workshop facilitator. These are a few of her original digital prints that were on display at the event. Anna can be contacted on IG (see link) for purchases.
Mighty pleased with my effort. What an uplifting afternoon!
Forever a lover of books, I simply had to buy a copy of Chi Mary Kalu’s children’s book called AFRICA DAY which could be purchased at the event. The author also signed my copy.
These two queens look mighty pleased with their achievements.
I hope you enjoyed reading my blog just as much as I enjoyed my first African paint and sip event.
