Charlie Jansen

I love to draw and express what’s happening in my community. I try to see art in all of life. It is a way of giving back to mother earth what she has instilled in me. Thru my practice I give honor to God for allowing me to be creative. ​

Artist Statement:
I am currently an Art Class Assistant at The Butterfly Art Project (BAP) in Cape Town, situated at the Capricorn Primary School in Vryground. My training is as a Community Art Facilitator and mentor under the founder and director Angela Katschke (www.butterflyartproject.org). Formerly incarcerated, I know what it is like to grow up in a Township, in Vryground.  I have personally traveled down roads that are put before my students. Most importantly I understand  the impact of Art (hopes/dreams) and Leadership (heroes/mentors).
