"I am continuously striving to grow beyond my horizons, whether
emotional, spiritual or artistic.
Therefore as I paint from the
heart, it would
only be natural that symbolism and spiritualism find themselves
rooted in my work. I am
also very susceptible to my surroundings, hence the strong
emotional component in my work.The warm South African sun I am
exposed to, inspires bold and vibrant
colouring, each painting a delightful journey.
The female nudes I do, I see as an expression of my life and
sensuality.The curves of the female body, combined with the
colour symbolism in my
paintings, express my innermost feelings, and the exuberance of
being created a woman Exhibitions:
