Flowers and birds,
painted to be carried.
The idea
Each bag is a painting first. Sunbirds, bougainvillea, flamingos and desert blooms, painted in Marie Helene's Swakopmund studio, one piece at a time.

“[In her own words: why flowers and birds, and what she loves about painting on something people carry.]”
[A short biography: Marie Helene Schoonees (née Albrecht), how long she has painted, her training or teachers, her life in Swakopmund, and how the bags began.]
The bags hang in these galleries and boutiques. Please visit, or ask the gallery about a piece you have seen here.
Marie Helene takes a few commissions each year: a favourite bird, the flowers from a garden or a wedding. Write to her and tell her about it.
