Whilst many people come to the Algarve to retire, local artist and businesswoman Uschi Kuhn has spent the last 15 years working as a hairdresser and body painter at her home in the picturesque hills above Loulé.
Born in Germany, Uschi and her husband Rudi moved with their young family to South Africa in 1966 where they established a hairdressing business. They returned to Germany in 1976 to start yet another hairdressing business in Leimen. However, they both missed the climate, vegetation, stars, sea and sky of South Africa so much they couldn’t settle.
The renowned German painter, Karina Müller, is delighted that the Vila Real de Santo António library is the venue for her latest exhibition which runs until March 30th.
The motto of Mar d’Estórias since its opening in 2016 has been creativity. Do you know why? Since the beginning, we have within our team the shop assistant Gabriela Rodrigues that is not limited to the management of the store of Mar d’Estórias. In fact, we have in Gabriela the creativity and imagination to transform our 4 walls with products in stunning showroom compositions; in presenting them in an original way and in making our selection a little more special.
Art Workshop with Gonçalo Rodrigues on Friday, February 23rd from 6pm to 7.30 pm. (and every last Friday of the month).
Last month turned out to be a very exciting and busy month for us both. Lots of interest being shown in our work and lots of coverage in local and international media too. We have more plans to share with you so stay tuned!
