Welcome
Greetings and welcome to my website, I’m an artist living and working from a beautiful seaside studio in the small, bohemian village of Muizenberg, South Africa.
With idyllic views of the sea where the cold, Atlantic and Indian oceans meet, I get to spend my days doing what I love best.
With a deep love for all of the art forms, my days are spent experimenting with paint and being creative in my studio, with either music or a documentary playing in the background.
Here is a small sample of the body of work I have completed over the years.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sam over the past 12 years . No is commission ever too big or too small a project for her. She always delivers on time, every time and hits the mark 100% as art is her entire nature.
Sam never delivers any work unless it is absolutely excellent. Her range of styles are so diverse, that we have been able to utilise her skills on countless commercials and feature films. She is incredibly popular in the film industry for her work. She is always my very first call for any art commissions.

Since 2013 we have been working together with Sam Brown as gallery owners.
During a journey through the beautiful South Africa in 2013 we saw a kimono from Sam in a wine farm near to Cape Town, immediately "deeply impressed", what a fantastic work of art!
A few days later we were visiting Sam, a welcoming reception.
Immediately we ordered a number of kimonos, some time later they arrived in our gallery in Tegelen.
A special moment in our existence; top pieces from South Africa!
Since then we have worked together intensively, every year a number of kimonos come to the Netherlands.
In 2015 we visited Sam again and since this time we also have stump art artworks from her ,very different work but also special and very original.
Both the kimonos and the stump art works of art are well received by us, enthusiasts, collectors and customers who love special art!
We would like to describe the collaboration with Sam as , pleasant, appointment after appointment, clear in communication, a fantastic artist and a very nice person we want to work with for a long time.
Thanks Sam!

About Me
I was born in Johannesburg , South Africa and grew up in a time of creativity, tension and change – it brought forth in me an artist’s heart – a passionate dancer in the early years with a passion for the arts in all its forms.
I thrived under art instruction at Damelin College and on leaving school, embarked on a Theatre technology diploma at Natal Tech in 1992 in order to pursue my artistic dream. After completing my diploma I relocated to Cape Town and began working for a set building company – it was a stimulating, highly creative environment and fuelled my interest in film making. I gained invaluable experience during that period learning the intricacies of set painting/prop building and was fortunate to work with scenic artists from around the world. This led me to a freelance career for the next 17 years, working on both international feature films and television commercials.
In 2001 I took the plunge and began painting full time and decided on creating my own work. I supply galleries in Europe and Africa. I work mostly on private commissions and occasionally group exhibitions too, but orders through art directors, interior designers and property developers keep me busy as well as my loyal client base.
