SOUTH AFRICAN FINE ARTIST
Welcome to my website and to the artworks that tell the story of the landscapes I love.
The Karoo holds a kind of magic for me: the stillness that covers like a blanket – comforting. The light, its gentleness and intensity. Its a landscape that looks baren and empty, but when you spend a moment waiting, you’ll see it’s teeming with life, stubborn and resilient life that pushes through the dust. The isolated homesteads of the Karoo, draw me in. Even with their peeling paint and crooked lines they stand there basking in the sun, weathering the winds, chanelling the dust that moves through them like a breath. They carry the stories of past inhabitants, their struggles and their joys. Life is a house like that – messy, weathered, sometimes neglected, but still it holds value, and beauty and strength, still capable of shelter. Still worth cherishing.
