Dietmar believes his life is a blessing, doing from home what he loves most and even making a living from it! He thanks God every day for his many talents. However, Dietmar considers his beloved wife Lesley to be his greatest gift. "For me, she is not only the perfect wife, friend, soul mate and lover, but also the most giving and talented business partner I could ever have wished for. Lesley does so much for me - just to mention a few of the things that she does - helping me in the studio, running our gallery, organising exhibitions, both locally and internationally, all the public relations and marketing, packaging and shipping of the sculptures, locating and fetching all the supplies from faraway places and doing all the administration work. In addition to all this she is a housewife and helps with the running of our farm, which is no easy task, and she spoils me in so many ways. There is very little time for Lesley's own pastimes that include gardening, flower arranging and pottery.

"I believe that behind every successful man stands a totally exhausted woman"

"To top it all, Lesley is passionately interested and involved in every one of my hobbies and interests. Her actual profession is that of a gourmet chef. She worked for many years in top restaurants and large hotels and this is where we originally met... Is this a match made in heaven or what?
