Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
This painting was created using mixed media. The proud image of a Xhosa Man dressed in traditional clothes emerges from an abstract, patterned background, his necklaces given to him by his many girlfriends. I like to use different textures, so that my paintings are interesting to look at and make you want to touch them. The background has layers of acrylic, enamel and oil as well as cut out African patterns taken from fabric found in fabric shops around Cape Town. Many artists have influenced my work but in particular the late Keith Joubert and Japanese/Brazilian artist Manabu Mabe.

United Kingdom
I am an English artist who has lived in both Rio, Brazil and Cape Town, South Africa. I started a career in art doing portraiture and wildlife. I have painted famous horses and riders in different fields of horsemanship and won 'Wildlife in Action' at The Wildlife Artist of the Year, London in 2010 and 2013. While living in Brazil I was inspired by the bright colours and naïve paintings, which simplify form. A further move to Cape Town provided fresh eyes into the contemporary art scene encouraging me to take my art in a more abstract direction. Using mixed media such as acrylic, oil, enamel, gold leaf and fabric on printed fabric I layer textures, interweaving a surface of patterns, symbolism and characters. My background in traditional techniques shows through in my work, often animals or people emerge from an obscure background.
