In case you didn't know, Esther is a 92-year-old Ndebele Artist who is revered globally. According to SA History.org, Mahlangu was the first person to transfer the traditional Ndebele style of mural painting to canvas. She painted her geometric patterns on a BMW 525i in 1991, becoming the twelfth artist and first woman to take part in the BMW Art Car Project, after figures such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein showed off their skills. How extraordinary is she?!

After making waves across the world, she is now on her way home to exhibit her amazing works of art. Oh, how I'd love to go and see this exhibition!
I know Yoko has had shade thrown at her for years from fans of The Beatles, but I, however, only ever saw her very much in love with John Lennon, and vice versa. I also totally love her son Sean Lennon's music. His album 'Into the Sun' is superb!
This gathering is going to be insanely cool!
