I’m a contemporary fine artist whose work explores a wide variety of styles, techniques and mediums. With a keen eye for colour and design, I can switch comfortably from painting on location (en plein air) to creating complex multidimensional works of art in the studio – see my unique BlockBuster technique developed by myself, under the tab ‘Artworks’.

BIOGRAPHY

I was born in Port Elizabeth South Africa, and from a young age showed a keen visual interest in the world around me, encouraged by a strong artistic flair that runs through my family.

While studying the history of art, I was fascinated and inspired by the French Impressionist Movement from the 1870s, and the unique characteristics they introduced into their work – not least the accurate depiction of light and colour, and their changing qualities. Following my studies at the Nelson Mandela University in art, photography and graphic design, I pursued a long and successful career in the advertising business. The variation and creativity of visual material and conceptual ideas required in this profession has significantly influenced my fine art.

From representational styles to complete abstract, I endeavour to create art that is innovative, using a multidisciplinary approach. Much emphasis is placed on experimentation with new and used(often waste) materials and mediums – whilst always striving to be relevant and unique. Continually seeking to push the boundaries of contemporary art, is where my creative focus lies. In addition to a couple of solo exhibitions I have also participated in numerous group exhibitions with various art galleries in Cape Town and recently at Galeria Azur in Berlin. In the relatively short period as a professional artist I have built a growing following among collectors and art enthusiasts alike and most of my work sold to date, has been to overseas buyers. I have also collaborated recently with interior designers to bring my unique brand of art into the homes and work spaces of their clients.

In the creation of my art, one of the main objectives (besides having fun) is to achieve an exceptional standard for myself and my audience/buyers, who all appreciate a high level of creativity and innovation in fine art.

Success, I believe, is achieving a timelessness in my work, and one in which collectors and owners of my art pieces never tire.
