I'm a fine artist producing works in the Western Cape South Africa. Having done numerous commissioned artworks and murals for clients both in the public and private sector. Since graduating in 2000 with distinctions in painting, graphic design and drawing I continue with an inexhaustible passion to delve the potential of expression through painting.

I’ve felt compelled to draw and paint from a very early age, to record the world not only as i see it but as i experience it. My passionate goal in painting is to create that emotional connection with the viewer, to draw them into my experience of the subject and reveal my thought processes in a non-confrontational way, depicting passages of both stillness and movement.

Recurring subjects in my paintings are people,animals, buildings and landscapes. I always aim to keep a painterly quality to my work, whether it be more expressionistic or representational. Mediums used include acrylic, oils, pen & ink, watercolour, gouache, charcoal, graphite, collage.
