Confidant Painting

I’m a South African painter inspired by my very deep connection to Mother Nature and her inhabitants, who have always provided me with a sense of belonging, safety and acceptance. I work predominantly in the traditional medium of oil paint on linen and canvas. I sell my work internationally through my profile on Saatchi Art and am privileged to have been featured in various collections. I live in the Western Cape of South Africa. Artist's Statement: "Rather than painting what I see, I aim to paint what I feel; my deep connection to Mother Nature and all her inhabitants."
