Alanie is an emerging South African Visual Artist and she has been awarded as a Top 25 Finalist in the ARTi Gallery Art Competition 2023!  

About this piece: 

When I saw the original painting of the The Birth of Venus, I immediately envisioned a beautiful African version of the original painting. My South African recreation depicts a strong, beautiful, and graceful African Queen, "Magnifica" (The Spirit of South Africans) as a focal point supported by animal guides that journey through the African Savanna. Through this artwork, I aim to celebrate the rebirth of our nation and the progress and transformation that South Africa has undergone, highlighting the ability of South Africans to overcome challenges and emerge stronger than ever before.

About the Artist: 

I am an emerging visual artist. My passion for art started at a young age and has been a constant source of joy and inspiration in my life.

I used to doodle on everything and everywhere as a child. Art was my favourite subject throughout my school years.

I obtained my BA Degree in Visual Communication at the Open Window School of Visual Communication in 2005.

I am currently a freelance Graphic Designer with over 20 years’ experience, working with various clients across different industries. My design career limited my time for fine art, but it did allow for a creative outlet.

I only started painting and drawing again in 2020 as a hobby, but I realised In the beginning of 2023 that I had to set a goal for myself to start working towards doing art on a more full-time basis.

I entered a few international online and local competitions, mostly for encouragement to produce more art, for which I received various awards.

I enjoy painting with oil, watercolour, acrylic, and gouache, as well as drawing with pencils, pen, markers and pastel. I find that using a variety of mediums allows me to express myself in different ways.

My favourite subjects are animals and people. My artworks usually have a combination of impressionistic and realistic elements. I enjoy working with textures and details.

I find that art not only allows me to express myself creatively, but also provides a sense of relaxation and mindfulness. 

I believe that art is a powerful medium to convey messages and emotions, and I am passionate about using my talent to inspire others.

Color: Higher Level-Navy A
The design is adorable and I love the little bones and paw prints they put on the tabs. They are easy to slide and the colors are bright and admirable. There is different difficulty levels. The yellow circles are more on the easy side. The red ones are a bit more harder if you have a more intelligent dog. The three white tabs in the middle move in a 360 circle, there is one missing so you can slide the red tab in to hide the treats. I use my dog's kibble as treats; the kibble pellets are 1cm in length and 1cm in width. I can fit about 2 pellets in each tab hole, there are 14 small holes which you can hide the treats in total. Cleaning the puzzle It depends if you wash it by hand or put it in the dishwasher. I do both but I prefer the dishwasher because it is a little hard to clean by hand since there is so many nooks and crannies on the toy. Of course, it is dishwasher safe and I recommend putting it in by itself because you don't want to cross-contaminate the dog slobber to be on your dishes. I wouldn't put crushed or wet dog food in it because it could get in the sliding rails and jam it up or get moldy. If you are going to dry the toy, open all the tabs so they are exposed. If you cannot, that's okay. My dog's opinion I have two dogs, a 2-year-old chocolate Labrador named Maggie and a 7-year-old labradoodle named Rufio, Maggie takes about 1 or 2 minutes to finish the puzzle because she is super energetic. Rufio takes 3 or 4 minutes because he is calmer; but sometimes I have to help him just a little bit. It is suitable for all dog ages and I recommend it if your dog (s) are annoying you. They both love it and I give it to them for mental stimulation and as a reward. The bottom has "non-slip pads", but if I'm being honest they actually don't work that well. My dogs just slide it around.

Great design!
Color: Higher Level-Navy A
This Joansan Dog Puzzle Toy is exactly what I was looking for. My little MinPin is a worker and he likes having a job to do. I purchased this to entertain him when rolling his treat ball all over the place isn't practical. This disc has a non slip bottom and it's actually fairly heavy. It doesn't slide easily. So my little worker usually ends up picking it up and transporting it to different locations throughout the house. Obviously, individual results will vary, depending on size, personality, and breed of the dog using it, but it's been great for my lil guy. He gets a little physical and mental exercise. It's sturdy enough to withstand his scratching and chewing. My big dog likes it too. The size is perfect for food oriented cats too. My cat is too lazy to work for his food though. So he wasn't interested in it.

This feeder will surely make your dogs work for their food.
Color: Higher Level-Navy A
I recently tried this slow feeder (I purchased 2 feeders) for my two Corgis (25 & 30 lbs.). Overall, it’s a well-constructed product and definitely slows down eating as intended. The design encourages dogs to work for their food, which helps with digestion and keeps them engaged. That said, there are a couple of challenges I noticed. The kibble sometimes gets jammed in the sliding doors, which can make it harder for my pups to access the food. Also, the feeder doesn’t hold a large amount of kibble—I found myself needing to refill it 2–3 times per meal to accommodate both of my dogs. Finally, my pups had a tougher time reaching the kibble in the middle ring, which caused a bit of frustration. Despite these issues, it’s sturdy, safe, and does the job of slowing down fast eaters. I think it could work especially well for smaller dogs or those who eat less at mealtime.

He loves it, what else is there to say!
Color: Green
My dog loves this ball. Originally we used it as it is designed and put treats inside it to knock out and keep him busy, now he just loves to throw it around and fling it by the pieces of fabric that come out. He is generally a toy destroyer so the fact that it is still arounds shows that it is strong and was for sure worth the buy. Would 100% recommend for any dog that likes to keep busy!

Pupper shakes with excitement when I take this out
Color: Green
This is a very good toy for a super busy pup but take it away after they find the treats or it's getting destroyed (the fleece) totally worth the money and the five minute prep time for a play session
