An Introduction

I live and work in Warwickshire in the United Kingdom, where I divide my time between a full time job as a Human Resources professional for an international company, and my first love - Art.

I am a South African by birth, and trained at the University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, where I gained a degree in Fine Art, majoring in Printmaking and Art History. I have exhibited in South Africa and have work in the Cape Town National gallery.  For the last four years I have exhibited in London and Warwickshire. I have also completed a number of commissions.

As can be seen from the gallery, my main interest is in landscapes and I use a variety of mediums. My influences are wide and eclectic, but secondary to my love of colour and nature. My work is impressionistic in style, using a variety of marks and mediums. I rarely include figures in my landscapes because I want the viewer to experience a personal response to them - as if they were in them and experiencing them first hand.

Some work is completed in situ, while others are completed in the studio using photographs and sketches to recreate the experience and landscape.
