'Give it Horns'

Heading into the African bush is one of my greatest joys. I love taking photos of the wild animals and then translating them onto my canvases. One day I picked up an old book with images of ancient African symbols. I started incorporating these symbols of joy and hope into my work ('mercy' 'courage,' wisdom' 'support' etc.). Then I was commissioned to design symbols incorporating the ideals of Nelson Mandela. I added these to the paintings as well.
