Originally from South Africa, I have been passionate about painting and drawing for as long as I can remember. My journey with oil painting began at the age of 8, and throughout my school years, it became my medium of choice. 

After taking a 12-year break to focus on raising my family, I returned to art with a renewed passion and clear focus. Now, I trust my instincts and focus mainly on portraiture. Oil painting remains my predominant medium, and I often find myself inspired by a face or photograph that I feel compelled to bring to life on canvas.
