My art is an invitation to connect with the natural world on a deeper level—reaching to nature to witness the resilience of nature, and the beauty found in the unexpected. Through painting, I aim to reflect the strength, joy, and renewal that come with embracing life’s cycles. Color is my voice, and through each stroke, I celebrate growth, and transformation.

My creative process is deeply rooted in the delicate coexistence of the human spirit and the environment. My work is an emotional response to the world around me. Much like the Symbolist painters, I believe art should evoke emotions or ideas rather than simply replicate the physical world.

​I work in both oils and acrylics and, at times, dabble in other processes. My process is organic, intuitive and a chaotic mess—starting with a blank canvas, which I block out with spontaneous colors. From this base layer, shapes and forms emerge, guiding the evolution of the painting. At this point I have formed an idea or will refer to photos I have taken. I build depth through several layers, by adding or subtracting, allowing the work to evolve and reveal itself. Ultimately the process of creating is as important as the final outcome.
 

​As a dual citizen of South Africa and the USA, my work reflects the richness of living between cultures and landscapes. I draw inspiration from both. Repeatedly drawn to landscapes and organic forms, my paintings blend vibrant hues with a deep sense of place, inviting viewers to connect with the beauty of nature and the cycles of life.
