For me ART is my imagination.
It is always an expression of something; whether an idea, image or feeling.
I strive for a simplicity within my work while being unique. I enjoy working with colors, reflections, shadows and light. I paint predominantly in acrylics, wanting to fill my
canvas with movement and light, making the viewer see beyond the colors on the
canvas. I moved to Vancouver from South Africa and was thrown into a world full of challenges: My art and my senses merged. Making art for me is like exploring a new country for the first time. The bold bright colors of tulips inspired me to do a series
of still lives in which I explored many different brush stokes striving to create my
own unique style.
My recent works took on a new direction of abstraction, filled with the rich colors
of the earth and inspired by the shapes and drama of fall, done in mixed medium.
As an artist I am hoping to inspire thought and to evoke the viewers’ emotions
through visual imagery.
