Art that defies age in Fairland
On July 19, Lillian Gray Fine Art School hosted their Adult Art Exhibition. The art studio served as the best venue for their adult students to boldly display the pieces of art they had worked on in the year thus far. For many of these students, art was a forgotten form of expression, one they had tucked away, having let time, and life with all its inevitable changes, come in the way of. Read more: Soaring high in his journey through art Co-owner and art teacher Adele Jansen van Rensburg shared with the paper why it's never too late to go back to art or start your journey. 'It's a space for anyone who wants to step back into their creativity, or for those who have never picked up a paint brush.' Jansen van Rensburg added that her favourite students were the ones who had never tried art. The artist said that one is never too old to pick up the easel and paint brush. 'I have seen many retired people who neglected their creativity for years, go back to pick up art again.' Jansen van Rensburg says one suppressing their art and creativity is akin to a dam with no fresh water. As she sees it, creativity needs to flow like a river. 'I love seeing the process of someone creating art. I also love when someone bravely comes to school, eager to start their art journey again, even with all their insecurities.' Jansen van Rensburg said witnessing their bravery, and their struggles, it's inspiring that they keep arriving for classes, most importantly for the art. That daily improvement being what she finds most inspiring. Follow us on our Whatsapp channel, Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok for the latest updates and inspiration!

Miss World 2025: South Africa's Zoalize Jansen van Rensburg remains upbeat after early exit
Despite showcasing the qualities of a well-rounded global ambassador, Jansen van Rensburg did not make it into the top 40. Despite falling short of expectations at the Miss World 2025 finale in India, South Africa's Zoalize Jansen van Rensburg has emerged with her head held high and her spirit unshaken. At just 19, the Pretoria-born model and youth advocate represented her country with poise and passion, winning hearts with her intelligence and purpose-driven vision, even if she didn't walk away with the crown. Jansen van Rensburg had been in India for nearly a month leading up to the 72nd Miss World pageant. Her advocacy platform, 'Never Too Young to Advocate', had impressed judges at the national level in South Africa, earning her the title of Miss World South Africa in October 2024. The digital project she leads is centred on empowering youth through education, representation, and activism. Its core pillars: educate, graduate, and advocate, aim to equip young people with tools to be heard and recognised in meaningful spaces. Her passion project was developed long before the Miss World pageant, and according to organisers, she remained actively involved in youth-centred charity work during her time in India. Despite showcasing the qualities of a well-rounded global ambassador, Jansen van Rensburg did not make it into the top 40. The Miss World title ultimately went to Opal Suchata from Thailand, a result that surprised some South African pageant fans who had closely followed Zoalize's journey. Nevertheless, she remains optimistic about her future. On an Instagram post she posted shortly after the finale she said; 'I can't wait to come back to our beautiful country. 'I see all your messages, I feel all your love, and I appreciate you all. We might not have gotten the result we expected, but never let this break our spirit.'
