Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
In 2018, there were numerous periodic demonstrations about service delivery and poor housing in South Africa, my home country. These demonstrations were often violent and show the distress of the majority population who are living in extreme poverty and inhumane conditions which are largely ignored by the privileged minority population of the country. This piece attempts to bring a warning sign to your attention. We are often distracted by white noise and lose focus on imminent issues. I hope this piece evokes in the viewer a sense of hopelessness that illustrates the explosive nature of this injustice and our need to take immediate action. This artwork uses acrylic, as do the majority of my works, because of its immediacy and responsive outcome which resonates with my personal style.

South Africa
Originating from Yorkshire, I am now a British infused South African. Prior to my decision to leave my life in England behind, I attended the Guildford School of Art in which I was able to pursue my passion for painting. Despite studying to become an artist, I began to teach adults with severe learning difficulties, a career that was to encompass many years during which painting was put on the back burner. I had married, had a child, then separated and needed to have a regular income. In 1991 I emigrated to South Africa with my partner who had been exiled from South Africa. I had intended to continue my work in within social services but that was not to be. There followed a number of positions including working on Reconstruction and Development with the National Peace Accord and then in Local Government in the run up to and after independent elections. In 2000 I retired from full time work but after a few years I found myself 'helping' a friend run her estate agency business until 2015 when I decided I really would retire and return to painting after 45 years. I now have a studio and a small gallery in partnership with another artist, also in Cape Town.
