About "Raindance 4"

It often touches me when I see kids, living in some of the most desperate situations of poverty, war and social meltdown, yet they still have a carefree joyfulness about the way they play. One of the sayings I live by is:

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

In their case, the storm may never pass, and yet they make the best of it… many of us in much better situations could learn from these kids!

About Sue

Sue Hoppe

Sue is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

I can get high on colour, I love expressing my reaction to what I see around me in bold loose brushstrokes and vibrant colours, sometimes abstract, sometimes not! My themes and the way I express them vary widely, but I am preoccupied with the plight of women and children in Africa, and a love for architecture and nature also feature often.
