I have travelled quite extensively around Africa and other areas of the world, and through my travelling, have met people and seen places that moved me, motivated me, inspired me in so many ways. I try to channel these experiences and feelings into what I paint.

Growing up in Namibia, Botswana and South Africa, I have also always felt an affinity to the people, cultures, scenery and wildlife around me.

Africa is in my blood and a critical part of the elementary “me”.

By painting some of what is very dear to me – be it a landscape, people or wildlife - brings me closer to the places I love, and miss, in some respects. It also gives me a chance to share this “special place” with others, be they African like myself or from abroad.
I always strive to capture the essences of each, on a canvas.

Many thanks for taking the time to view my paintings and understand a little of my motivations and emotional connections to the Continent, people and places I love.
