My art is an invitation to connect with the natural world on a deeper level—to witness the resilience of flowers, the ebb and flow of life, and the beauty found in the unexpected. Through intuitive 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, even in the face of adversity. 
 

My creative process is deeply rooted in the delicate coexistence of the human spirit and the environment. Much like the Symbolist painters, I believe art should evoke emotions or ideas rather than simply replicate the physical world. My work is an emotional response to the world around me, not a literal representation.

While I initially began working in oil, I have transitioned to acrylics, challenging myself to master its fluidity and immediacy. My process is organic and intuitive—starting with a blank canvas, which I block out with spontaneous, bold colors. From this base layer, shapes and forms emerge, guiding the evolution of the painting. I build depth and texture through several layers, allowing the work to reveal itself over time.

As a dual citizen of South Africa and the USA, my work reflects the tension and richness of living between cultures and landscapes. I draw inspiration from both, incorporating color, pattern, and form to reflect my African heritage. 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.
