Nature inspires me and photography is a passion of mine. I take many photos and these I analyze, select, combine and digitally manipulate, working with saturated colours, finding details in the shadows, and adding brilliant, shimmering light. When I arrive at a mood or atmosphere that closely resembles my experience and what I wish to share, the image is saved, printed and then drawn onto the canvas. I typically start with the whites and work my way to the deep shadows, but sometimes a particular colour or shape will draw me into play.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Nature inspires me and photography is a passion of mine. I take many photos and these I analyze, select, combine and digitally manipulate, working with saturated colours, finding details in the shadows, and adding brilliant, shimmering light.

I was born in South Africa in 1970. As a child we moved from Pietermaritzburg to Pretoria to Rustenburg to Jeffries Bay to Stellenbosch to Harare, finally settling in Cape Town. I spent my last year of school in Oxford, Ohio as an exchange student and then returned to Stellenbosch, where I completed a BA Degree in Graphic Design. For the next decade I lived in Northern Alberta, followed by a couple of years thawing out on the Island of Saipan. Thereafter I returned to South Africa via Ireland, and a few more years in Canada. I currently spend my time between South Africa and Canada. In South Africa I reside next to the Atlantic Ocean in a suburb nestled between the Twelve Apostles, Table Mountain, Lion’s Head and the Ocean. It is truly one of the most beautiful places on the planet. In Canada I live on the North Western Pacific Coast. more to follow....
