I began my career working as a graphic designer and art director for ad agencies and then founding a boutique design agency working in both the public and private sectors. Several years ago I came to the realisation that I was looking for something more and I went in search of it. It wasn’t long before I succumbed to the joy of making art, and have been ever since. I have been called a master of positivity, reinvention, and finding solutions to every problem. No matter the form, art is where I feel most at home.

Breaking away from the traditional colour palette mine is far from dull! The colours I choose are vibrant and expressive. I believe it’s an extension of how I see myself and the world. I have always loved nature, every aspect of it! So, it’s natural for me to want to paint what I am naturally drawn to. I love the idea of storytelling and try to weave that into my work. My work is about the realisation that we all belong together. We are all connected and one can not do with out the other, a world in bright harmonious balance. My art is an attempt to reclaim the natural balance that once was. The work is colourful and joyful and connected to nature and all her beauty.
