About The Artist


I was born in Springs, Matriculated at Hoër Meisieskool Hugenote and studied Graphic Design at Pretoria Technicon (today known as Tshwane University of Technology). My family and I currently lives in Durbanville, Western Cape. Oils & Acrylics are the mediums I prefer to work in, but I also enjoy working with pencil and mixed media. I used to paint mainly with Acrylics but have lately been experimenting more with oils. I find it suits my style better when painting portraits or character studies. Oils allow me to work more loose and paint less detail. When painting character studies, it is more important to capture the character and mood than giving a photorealistic interpretation of the subject.
