Streams Run Through It Painting

“Strong, confident, joyful art to make you feel like that, live like that and love like that!” I grew up in South Africa, a country of vast contrasts in landscape, wildlife and a rainbow of cultures. Its ever present pendulums of peace versus conflict, justice versus corruption, harmony versus lawlessness, and the massive divide between rich and poor. All of these intermingled with my own family history and experiences influence the artist I am today. My practice provides a safe space to explore my full range of emotions. I know that acknowledging the light and dark sides of life’s circumstances enables me to live fully in the present and step boldly into my future with the volume turned right up! My artwork becomes that place where you can do the same.
