About
The person behind the vision
Mary-Louise Stein is the visionary behind the McGregor Art Walk. She’s a mother and a teacher, but more importantly an established artist in her own right. Having founded and curated the Cape Art Route, this is not her first rodeo.
She counts having completed the official swim from Robben Island to Blouberg, as one of her most important achievements, along with having sold her art to both local and international buyers.

The backroom girl
Fiona’s love affair with all things McGregor stretches back to the late 20th century. With an eclectic range of organisational and other skills, she’s the Art Walk’s word warrior and back room girl.
