“Throughout my painting career I have always been aware of the natural elements which create the awesome kaleidoscope of colours, and the powerful forces of seasonal festivals which alter the moods of the landscapes from day to day.
I was born and have lived in Cape Town all my life. During the last 30 years, I have been privileged to travel into the wilderness areas of Namibia and Botswana, where I have been rewarded with the visual, mental, and spiritual magnificence of nature. Its moods, its balance, its strength, its vastness, its ever changing colours, its dramas, and its ability to survive in spite of unnatural interference have had a profound influence on me as a painter.
In my works I share with those who are interested in the majesty of the ancient Baobabs, the jewel of the Okavango Delta, the vastness of the Kalahari, the dramatic skies and the wilderness where one can hear the silence.”

Many, many years ago the ‘’harmless people’’, now known as the San, lived and roamed freely across parts of Southern Africa. Stretching from the Cedarberg Mountains in the south, to the Tsodilo Hills in the north, they migrated each season following the herds of antelope and gathering the plentiful food from the land. The only point of reference in this region known as the Kalahari, were the magnificent Baobabs. This was where the San would gather in clans reuniting with old friends. These were the trees that spoke to me of such meetings. These were the trees that bore witness to animals and humans living in harmony.
“Nola Muller looks at the rock paintings that evidence the nomadic wonderings of the primal San hunters and gatherers and their 3000 year old narratives of the hunt. The figures in her paintings could be participants in trance dances that evoked super natural help in the hunt and honour the spirit of the animals they kill for food. These epic stories play out against the background of massive baobabs on Kubu Island of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Botswana, where the San roamed freely. She holds this place in her heart after many camping trips.“ – Gail Dorje of the Cape Gallery
