I’m a creative at heart. I’m passionate about painting. I generally focus on subject matter that is connected to nature, but I have been known to deviate at times. I was born and raised in Cape Town. I have loads of inspiration on my doorstep: from craggy mountains to rolling seas and an abundance of beautiful fynbos (the smallest, yet richest floral kingdom in the world) to tickle my paint brushes and keep me very busy. I’m recognised for my ‘masking tape’ paintings. This technique is my very own, original craft which happened by chance, while cleaning out my home studio. This process allows me to create artworks in acrylics that are extremely unique and tactile. One cannot paint ‘normally’ like this. It’s the ‘fluke’ that occurs, using masking tape, that makes my work so different and eye-catching.
