"The Chasm" Fine Art Print

I live in Durban,a semi tropical city on the east coast of South Africa - a place which is colourful, humid and holidayish but at the same time a major port. I guess because of our warm ever-summer climate and South African sunshine I embrace colour. I love colour. Perhaps too because I have emerged from a difficult adjustment in my life, my work now reflects something more light hearted, happy and simple. At the very least, I hope it imparts a celebration of brightness! Last year I worked almost exclusively in pencil, drawing African wild life, flora and fauna as well as landscapes in black and white.From the drawings I made and marketed greeting cards which were locally well received but, as I said, black and white. I am in love now with modern luminous paint. And lines. The figures recently painted are seeking out my own feeling of femininity, a womanhood at the same time both powerful and fragile. Ever young, ever timeless - where age does not matter. What matters is truth and grace.
