I am a South African artist originally from Mpumalanga, where I grew up near the Kruger National Park. Spending much of my childhood surrounded by Africa’s wildlife, landscapes and vibrant colours sparked a lifelong passion for art and nature.

My artistic journey began with drawing, where I developed a strong appreciation for detail, form and expression. Over time, I expanded into acrylic painting, combining my love of drawing with bold colour, texture and movement.

After moving to the United Kingdom in 2016, creating artwork inspired by Africa became a way of staying connected to home. Through wildlife, proteas and portraiture, I celebrate the beauty, culture and spirit of the place that shaped me.

Each piece reflects both my South African roots and my continuing artistic journey. My hope is that my work brings colour, warmth and a sense of connection into the homes of those who collect it.

Thank you for visiting my gallery and supporting independent art.
