ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I painted this Contact series during 2020. Deeply moved by the isolation and yearning for contact which we all, but especially older people felt - and seeing this in my elderly mother, whom I also lost this year - I felt the need to paint these essential intimacies. A word, a whisper, a hand held, a child's warm touch. The diminutive size of these works befit the smallest of affections which has the power to transform and bestow hope. I was very much moved while painting these and have found the same reaction in those who saw or bought them. They are little seeds of hope.

I am a figurative oil painter with work in collections throughout South Africa as well as in Chile, Germany and the United Kingdom. I am originally from Cape Town, South Africa - where I Completed a Fine Art Honours Degree and have been painting professionally since 1999 after many years working as a cabinet maker, running my own design and manufacturing business. ​ After three successful solo shows and regular participation in group shows, competitions and art events, I moved to the United Kingdom with My family in 2009. I have taken part in various group shows in Berkshire while creating a body of work for my first solo show in England. In 2016 I was chosen to participate in Sky Portrait Artist of the Year, which aired in spring 2017 on Sky Arts. I entered again in 2019 and went quite a bit further than the first heat - this will air in 2020 on Sky and Channel 4. I continue to exhibit in Open Studio/Arts Trail events and groups, and although these events are wonderful in terms of local exposure and a valuable and encouraging way to engage with the public about my painting, I am hoping to be accepted into an appropriate gallery with a wider audience.
