I'm a South African artist best known for my contemporary oil portraiture. My mural work has also acquired acclaim as I'm skilled to work in mixed media on a tremendous scale, also painting murals for festivals and companies like Nike, Ray-Ban, Sony etc. I live and work in Johannesburg, South Africa.
