If you’re an Art lover holidaying in the Ballito area or even a day visitor during the holidays, the chances are that you would be interested in seeing what the area has to offer. Tucked away in the centre of the main street in Umhlali, you will find Leanna’s Gallery Café – an excellent spot to meet a friend for a cup of coffee or a light lunch, while enjoying the variety of artwork on display.
Leanna and her husband started a small gallery and framing business some years ago and this has now expanded into a café, framing shop and gallery. Chatting to Leanna about the gallery, she said that her motto had always been “something for everyone” and she is confident that the business will continue to live up to that goal. At the back of the gallery, you will find a section that is very well stocked with art materials. Although the chances are that you will find what you are looking for there, Leanna hastens to add that she is happy to order on the customer’s behalf, should you need something that is not in stock. The selection of canvases on offer made me feel instantly inspired to paint. Leanna keeps stock of the Australian Art Spectrum pastels as well as a wide variety of paints and brushes.
Apart from the paintings, plates and ceramics on display, Leanna stocks a large selection of framed mirrors. Verdi, Leanna’s husband, does the framing on the premises himself and as such is often happy to help out with an urgent framing need.
Leanna is looking forward to receiving some new stock early in the New Year, so it might be a good time to plan to meet a friend at the Gallery Café for a cup of coffee. For more on Art www.withartinmind.co.za
