A Life Spent

Looking Closely

[Placeholder — replace with the real story: where the journey began in or around Bloemfontein, training or influences, what draws Stef to acrylic and watercolour, and what still inspires the work today. Example tone: "Stef Norval has spent years with his eyes on the natural world around Bloemfontein — the way light falls across a rock face, the quiet gold of a late-afternoon veld, textures only seen when you sit still long enough to really look."]
