The Rust en Vrede Portrait Competition 2025
Prince Albert Gallery Space
Late in 2023 I took up a small exhibition space annexed to the beautiful gift shop, Cinnamon and Grace in Prince Albert. I have subsequently moved my work to the amazing Prince Albert Gallery across the road.
Paris again!!!!!
Ahhhhhh I really really love Paris. What a city. All the architecture, music, art, cafes, people..... just the best! I spent September and October 2023 in Paris at the Cite des Arts. I was there to explore my ideas for figurative and portraiture work. My first two...
A new portrait
I once again entered the Rust en Vrede Portrait awards and I loved doing this portrait of my son in law. However it was not chosen to go into the top 100. Seriously disappointing, but I do know its personal taste and I realise its not to everyones taste. And of course...
Untethered – a studio exhibition
Another fabulous studio exhibition, this time with the incredible fibre artist Marcelle Sprong, very clever ceramicist Jo Merritt and the wonderfully graceful and talented Michelle Chase. All the work complimented each other so beautifully.
Four Artists
I love sharing exhibition space with other artists and I recently hosted a group show in my studio for the amazing Cathy Steed, my long time friend Karen Wykerd and Robin Pollard.
Rust en Vrede Gallery Portrait Awards
The Ephigy and the Phoenix, my entry for the Rust en Vrede 2021 portrait award was placed in the top 40 for the competition. An amazing experience and privilege to be included in this years selection. So many outstanding artists involved.

A Still Life Reimagined
The SA Artist's magazine ran a competition for a cover feature in February 2020. Having never entered a competition before and I decided to give it a bash. I was thrilled to receive second place, and I believe I had narrowly missed first place because my work was not...
From A Distance
Hosted at The Studio Gallery in Simonstown's Harbour Bay Centre this is an exhibition themed around distance and longing. I view landscapes as mirrors of humanity. They often tell stories if we care to wait and look and listen. An isolated farm can seem lonely and...
2018 – A quick review.
I think 2018 was a few months short of a full year. It seems that way to me. I spent the first few months of 2018 painting enough work to leave with Manzart and The Studio so that I could indulge a long held yearning to learn more about painting the figure. Figurative...
Limited Edition Handmade Book
Two years ago, my good friend Marlene Winberg, approached me with the idea of creating a limited edition, handmade art book of my work. I readily agreed that it was a great idea and we began the process. Its been a long and exciting road creating this beautiful book,...
