My art is an invitation to witness the quiet beauty found in the unexpected.

​​

My creative process is rooted in the delicate interplay between the human spirit and the natural world. Like the Symbolist painters, I seek to evoke emotion and atmosphere rather than merely replicate the physical. My paintings are intuitive & expressive responses to memory and place - often mirrored in the titles that accompany them.

​​

I am continually drawn to the language of landscape and organic forms. My paintings invite the viewer into a world where the emotional and the environmental gently intersect.

My current body of work is mostly representational, infused with elements of abstract expression. I approach the canvas with openness and it’s not unusual for me to shift directions entirely or to begin anew. Sometimes I sketch a loose outline or reference photographs I’ve taken, but the final image is always the result of layered exploration and discovery.

As a dual citizen of South Africa and the United States, my work reflects the richness and contrast of living between cultures and landscapes. Both countries feed my palette and my perspective.
