About The Artwork

Courtship of the Eagle involves the two of them flying up high where they grasp talons and then glide ack to the ground. This is called the Cartwheel. They would then break apart at the last minute before hitting the ground. It is said that this Cartwheel flight help to bond the pair for life. The theory is if the eagles do this and they let go too soon,they might be signaling to their potential mate that they are not as bold or strong as maybe need to be to raise young successfully. The other extreme is that if they don't pull out of that maneuver in time, they can severely injured or kill themselves. They are establish a bond between them. Such a tight bond where not even death scare them away. They are literally trusting each other with their lives. This is not only a picture of a marriage but also the bond of Christ with his bride. (Covenant) Gen 2:24 “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” In Hebrew the word “cleve” means ‘dâbaq’. Meaning to cling, stick, stay close, cleave, to be joint to, catch. It is a strong expression that has the literal sense of two being held together by force, as when one person captures another. It has a figurative sense of being “glued to” – much like these two eagles with their locked talons. This is thus a symbol of how we should be stuck, glued to our marriage partner - in true covenant – in sickness and in health, through the good and bad times. True love does not run away when the hardship of life makes its appearance.

I was born in 1971, 29 October and grew up in a town called Vanderbijlpark in South Africa. Since I can remember I was holding a pencil, drawing the things around me. I even won my first art prise when I was 6 years old.I am actually the third generation on my mother's side who shows artistic talent. I attended a school for art in Johannesburg and after high School I started a career in the South African Police Force as a Police artist drawing wanted criminals, stolen goods, designing pamphlets, posters ect. This was the environment where I learned most about portrait studies.In 1992 I moved to Cape Town, South Africa. I met a wonderful man, got married and was blessed with two daughters. I am currently painting full time. I only started painting with acrylic late in the 1990's, doing small projects only for family and friends. I soon discovered the magic of painting in oil and never looked back. After a career of 16 years in the South African Police Service, I persued my dream and started painting full time in 2006.I do not paint according to a fixed "style" and concentrate on various commissions including murals, backdrops, portraits and the human figure.I tend to paint relalistic. I am not much into abstract art but can appreciate it. Every time I paint a figure my greatest goal is to paint the body so that the viewer will fall in love will the subject. The challenge is to paint the subject as a living soul, not a dead figure. One must step away and be touched by the emotion she portrais.
