About me

After completing my Honours degree in Fine Art & Art History, at the University of Pretoria (South Africa) and starting an incredibly interesting career in skull re-construction in the Police Force, I realized that it was time to see the world before settling down.  I set off for three adventurous years of backpacking - experiencing art, life, people and places that changed my life forever. I also happened to meet a fellow travel enthusiast whom I eventually married and moved to beautiful British Columbia, Canada. 

Life happened and it was only after I had kids, that I found myself re-discovering my love of drawing pictures.

I find nature edifying and inspirational, never stagnant, always changing, a fluid, living model for any medium to be executed in. I also loves faces and the stories they tell. A long time ago I made a series of etchings dealing with cruelty and greed, but prefer these days to explore light, contrast, colour and form. I don't produce prodigiously, but sneak it in between work and life, which works just fine for now...striving to live each moment honestly, is more important right now than creating masterpieces.
