Artist Bio:

Originally from Pretoria in South Africa, Bölke graduated with a degree in Fine and Applied Arts (B-Tech) in 2015. He continued on to receive his PGCE in Fine and Applied Art in 2016. After his studies he went on to teach Visual art in Both South Africa, Kuwait and China. During his time in South Africa he has participated in Group exhibitions and also worked on creating art for the American Embassy’s 4th of July party.

Bölke then returned to Cape Town in South Africa to pursue his art career. Bölke started experimenting with the Embroidery medium during his studies and has continued to experiment and work in embroidery and mixed media. Bölke has continued to Exhibit in Galleries in the Western Cape and you can find his work on permanent display at Rossouw Modern Gallery in Hermanus. In 2024 J.C. Bölke received a “Highly Recommended Artist” certificate finishing in the top just after 3rd place for Vuleke 2024 Art Competition.

“I mostly use embroidery thread in my artworks. I like that it plays with the idea of masculinity and femininity, me being a man using a traditionally craft and female medium. This could bring up questions people have of sexuality, which I sometimes use as inspiration. The process of creating my artworks using thread has become a sort of meditation, trying to capture emotions in my portraits using colour and thread and then repeating the process.”

Inspiration:

What inspired me for the artwork was the theme “rainbow Renaissance.”. I decided to choose one of my favourite artists, Leonardo Da Vinci and one of his most famous artworks ‘The Mona Lisa’. 
Since South Africans are known as the Rainbow Nation, I decided to make my artwork colourful and put Cape Town and Table Mountain as the background of my artwork, as it is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. I chose to use a coloured woman to represent our nation and the Cape. I also decided to add the protea flowers to make it more Capetonian and show our national flower. 

All of this represents the beauty of South Africans and our nation. We all bleed the same, we are all human, we are the Rainbow Nation.

READ THIS AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER NOW!!!
33% of Americans are verging on type 2 diabetes and do not know it. This should make you run to get this book! Following Glucose goddess on Instagram and got her book as well. It is easy to read, with fun illustrations by the author. She has truly helped me so much with my insulin resistance and managing my glucose spikes. "Lifestyle optimization" is an essential for everyone. Why wait until you are diagnosed? These hacks are simple, fun, and super easy. Her audiobook is also out now and is read by the author!! Which is awesome. What makes this book even MORE useful though, is if you invest in a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and have the app. I had the Freestyle Libre sensor. Each sensor lasts 2 weeks on the skin and logs your real-time glucose levels 24/7. Way better than doing the old fashioned painful and wasteful lancet and test strips. Although you can verify your CGM occasionally using the lancet, and see how accurate the CGM is. You can have a CGM prescription written for you if you INSIST at your nurse practitioner's. (NPs are WAY more open to this kind of experimentation and self-monitoring...I got the rebuff from the doctor, HA!) What is so sad is that the healthcare system is so broken that insurance will NOT cover a CGM UNTIL you have full-blown type 2 diabetes and are dependent on exogenous insulin delivery. OR if you are a type 1 diabetic and born without the ability to process glucose. Sad huh? The FDA wants you sick, fat, ugly, and miserable. We are MUCH better desperate customers then...willing and eager to take any pills to solve the problems! Let's not be proactive and encourage the PATIENT to take measures against type 2 diabetes, right? So there are MANY benefits of managing glucose. Fairly effortless weight loss actually. In this book she dives into nutrition science and the biochemistry of different sugars as well. She has so much credibility and science-driven data backed up by her own personal journey as well as many peer-reviewed articles. Thank you Jessie!

Really Good Book & Inspired Me to Take Action
Format: Hardcover
After I finished reading the book, I asked my doctor for a Continuous Glucose Monitor. For two weeks, I reduced my carb & sugar intake & was able to keep my glucose in the "steady" range. Then, I ate an oatmeal cookie without pre-eating any fiber or protein. BIG SPIKE! One cookie sent my glucose soaring. I can't even imagine what happens to my body when I eat 1/2 pound of candy. This book was written in a very understandable way & it inspired me to start tracking my glucose levels. I recommend reading this book. And there is definitely something about seeing the effect on your body when you eat sugar by using a CGM. It's an almost immediate visual telling you that you're inflicting damage on yourself. When you don't see it, you can pretend it's not really happening. When I saw that spike, I imagined my poor body trying to release all that insulin to remove sugar from my blood.

Great Book to Understand How Diet Impacts Blook Sugar and Health
Format: Hardcover
Life changing book that helped me understand how sugar and processed foods impacted my health. I verified the tips in this book with my own blood glucose monitor. The tips that she shared helped me reduce my glucose spikes and helped me enjoy a little snack from time to time.

Quality is as good if not better than the Brand name Water picks. This flosser is super powerful and gets the spots a toothbrush can’t! I would recommend it to anyone.
