Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
I am struggling with many tears. I am struggling with the ugly nature of the people of my country. This is not who we are. We are not supposed to hate and take, and break each other's hearts. We are supposed to live free, love, care, hope, dream together. The Rainbow Nation. How did we become this ugly thing? Can we not just love, be beautiful, be kind? Are we able to feel love, give strength, stand together? Or are we just simply broken? How was this a dream for any of us as our future? Our beautiful place to live. Our mountains to climb, but do we do so over others' dead bodies, or words that cut and hurt? Can we sing a song and hear the same music? Can we? Love the person you talk to today, hear their voice ask them if they are ok, take a minute to listen to their story. It may sound a lot like yours. We are a nation, not a side. You can be an asshole in any colour, but you can also be amazingly beautiful no matter the colour. It's not about that, it's about us, a nation, a people, a South Africa, and there is place for us all, enough for us all, love for us all. But it is up to US. Who do you want to be? Someone's nightmare or someone's Friend?

Artist Statement "I am an artist because it is something that I am as a being of creation and creation is a primary function thus. Inside I find a well of immeasurable, quiet turmoil where shapes, forms and colour surface and struggle to find life outside of my being. I allow these to overwhelm me every time I work and find solace in the fact that they are a part of me. A Singular line can have as much beauty as the most complex verse or pattern, and embodies all of what the artist is and can be. Contrasts within work, life, light and dark, soft and hard, good and bad just the beauty of things being, even a single look in a child's eyes or a bottle top long discarded and given to rust, all the minute changes in the being of things are where I find beauty and a reason to work. I paint to be me. Art cannot conceal any lies. Within it can only be truth.”
