Born
in Johannesburg in 1945
Tessa
worked for many years in the Fashion and Decorating Industries and in
latter years most successfully in the Florist Industry – owning a
highly successful florist shop in
Johannesburg.
In
1996 Tessa opened her Bed and Breakfast establishment in the
small town of Prince Albert
in the Great Karoo
.
Her
wire trees were born of a need to express her artistic nature and
represent, mostly, various types of Accacia – all from the Southern
African region.
