Pieces of my life through my eyes…
My work is a celebration of light filled moments in rich, colourful strokes.
Painting en-pleinair (on location in natural light) is central to my process, but I am equally at home in my studio, or capturing stillife and interior scenes from life.
My work reflects the fascinating South African Landscape. I find beauty in ordinary, intimate scenes and love to paint the truth revealed to me in nature. I want to convey the emotional connection I experience with each scene. Oftentimes, it is the simplicity in a moment that will excite me.
I have been privileged to learn from so many masterful artists who shared their knowledge unconditionally and I’m completely committed to doing the same. I teach workshops throughout the year and love meeting artists from all over sharing our love for painting. We also run an Art retreat once a year.
My approach is one of simplicity, striving to make every mark count. My inspiration is the fleeting effect of light captured in a moment of time. I see myself as a painter of moments in my life, seen through my eyes.
