My Story:

Hi, I’m Magic Mint, but you can call me Magic. After retiring in the late 1990s, I embarked on an adventure to Cairo to explore ancient Egyptian landmarks. But it was the breathtaking vistas of Africa that truly stole my heart. I started documenting my travels through photography, drawing, and painting. I’d spend hours atop sand dunes or out in the savannah, capturing the stunning landscapes. Sometimes, local children would join me, and I’d share art tips with them.

My artwork has been showcased in galleries around the world, and I ensure that all proceeds from my creations support local children’s art and education programs.
