South African Artist: Audrey Rudnick

I, Piet Matthee, Derek Collins and artist, Audrey Rudnick, have been selling these lovely sculptures made from Palm Leaves/Pods for seven years in South Africa and occasionally to overseas visitors. We would love to develop an overseas market, especially in Europe, Australia and the U.S. Can anyone perhaps help us as to how we can achieve this goal?


Below are a few of the sculptures we have on offer:

"Le Chic"

"Tamara"

"Norah"

"Bird tree"

"Angelina"

"Jester"

"Zulu"
"I mainly paint and sculpture women because I think they are beautiful and frankly, I find them pleasing to work with. Women have lovely curves and seem to combine both softness and strength, qualities I love to portray in my work", Audrey says.

Audrey derives a lot of inspiration from the Bible, particularly the books of Proverbs and Psalms. She thanks the Lord Jesus Christ for her talent and creative abilities.

"Xhoza"

"Shhh tree"

"Height comparison"


"Ndebele"

"Masai"

y name is Audrey Rudnick, the Patent Holder, and Originator and Artist of the Pod People and Sole Owner of Rights to the Pod People.No one else has any rights or entitlement to my Pod People Patent # 2002/8874. The writer of this Blog and their Associates are no longer my Agent (since 31 May 2009) and forfeited their rights to market, assemble or sell my Pod people through lack of payment for these rights. I took these rights back in June 2009 and any Pods not bearing my original signature on the leaf (since 1 June 2009) are frauds, especially those bearing a plack on the base showing my patent # 2002/8874 with an engraving of a copy of my initials. Don't support illegal copies. Buy original artwork. Mine are way better quality, beautifully painted by myself,(a world reknowned artist for the last 30 years), and certified my myself. Please rather contact me, Audrey Rudnick, at audrey@thehoozoo.com or go to my website Dec 2010) www.audreyrudnick.com

Dear Poddies Team,

I have wanted a Pod Lady ever since the first time I saw 'Le Chic' and 'Angelina' in Centurion in 2005 (if I remember correctly). Then I started saving up.. :) but then we moved to Germany.
During our visit in 2008, the Pod People weren't there where I saw them the first time, unfortunately.
My husband had tried to convince me, that it was better that way since it would have been too difficult to bring her (or them :) home with us, on the plane, anyway.
But I found you online and now this blog...

If you are still interested in expanding to Europe (more specifically DE, NL and BE), I can help with contacts and even be a spokesperson/mediator.
Please contact me at yovdm@yahoo.co.uk.

I am very much looking forward to hearing from you.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Kind Regards

Yolandi

I drop a leave a response each time I especially enjoy a post on a
website or if I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation.
Usually it is a result of the sincerness communicated in the post I browsed.
And after this article "South African Artist: Audrey Rudnick".
I was actually moved enough to drop a comment :-) I do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind.
Could it be simply me or does it look as if like a few of these
responses appear like they are left by brain dead visitors?

:-P And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I would like to keep up with you.
Could you make a list every one of your public sites like your twitter feed,
Facebook page or linkedin profile?
