about me.
I am a painter based on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. I studied a BCom & postgraduate in Finance after school, followed by a Diploma in Property Valuation. I worked in the valuation industry for almost a decade before transitioning into exploring life through art in 2016. I enjoy creating with different mediums, most recently discovering a love for oil paint.
Since moving to the north coast (July 2021), my practice has been highly influenced by my physical environment. The proximity to the ocean has soothed my mind and soul… it has been a time of gentle self-acceptance & authentic self-expression.

As with anything that lives, change occurs. I’ve passed through stages and phases of experiments of expression, and with each sequence of change, I leave something behind and become something new. A continuum. There is a persistent search, a repeated questioning; why do I paint? what is my unique voice in the world?
My intention is to constantly experiment with & broaden my technique.
