Whether you are a novice or a seasoned art collector, Art Trader offers an environment where you can sell, buy, refresh your collection, or simply come in for a chat and admire the latest on canvas. “I really wanted to create a space that was open to all, and anyone felt like they could come in and enjoy what exquisite art is all about,” says King. “After two decades of being in galleries and engaging with not only collectors but also lovers of art, I’ve come to understand that art needs to be more accessible, and needs to be appreciated just for the simple beauty of it.” What impresses us most about Art Trader is the meticulous selection of artworks showcased at the gallery, which captures the breadth and depth of human expression. Lisa's gallery is vibrant, and the intricate web of artistic connections she has woven throughout her career has certainly reached new heights. The current selection of artworks has been perfectly curated and features stunning work by celebrated artists such as Vanessa Berlein, Gavin Larkin, Bassa Aspinall, and Fiona Goldthorpe. “What I love about this space is that it’s charming,” says King. “In every corner, there is something gorgeous to look at, and it has a story to tell. That’s the beauty of art – you can see a story on a canvas, but the moment you look deeper, you start to see your own interpretation, and from that moment onwards, that story becomes yours,” concludes King.

Real Estate: A Frontier of Opportunity for Women
Looking for a career change? This Women’s Month, nine female owners of real estate franchises tell us what they love about the property industry and the opportunities it offers women. As these nine business owners can attest, transitioning from various fields, whether it be secretarial work, finance, architectural design, other sales fields, or even bartending, can lead to a flourishing career in real estate. These women's diverse backgrounds have provided them with unique perspectives and skills that have fuelled their success in the property industry. From Diverse Fields to Real Estate Success Ria Taljaard, multi-franchise owner of Just Property Kalahari, Just Property Kuruman, and Just Property Kimberley, was initially a manager and an educator at a FET college. She says her early experience in motivating people and training proved instrumental in building a successful property franchise. Nicky Hansen, a Just Property franchise owner of Durbanville, Kraaifontein, and Brackenfell, points to her background in architectural design and property development as a foundational asset in her real estate journey. Sunette Roberts, owner of Just Property Keystone, and Wilna du Raan, owner of Just Property Jeffreys Bay, were both in the finance sector before they moved into the property space and attribute their business management skills to these previous roles. For Dalene Conradie, franchisee of Just Property Hennenman, the transition was less conventional: one day at her bartending job, a real estate franchise owner told her she didn’t belong behind a bar counter and offered her a job as a receptionist – she grabbed the opportunity and has worked her way up to a successful career as a real estate entrepreneur. Charmaine Badenhorst of Just Property Impact and Brakpan and Springs, found that her customer interaction experience after two decades in kitchen sales was invaluable when she moved into real estate. Meanwhile, Ana Roberts of Just Property Upper …
