Slow art made in small batches is the intention, with my focus being 'process over product’. My work is rooted in the curiosity of mediums and a love for creative play.

Grounded in Grain
Currently showing at the Ladder, 136 on Bree Street
Grounded in Grain presents a series of landscape works that examine materiality, place, and ecological resilience. Rendered in charcoal and chalk pastel on predominantly birch plywood boards, this series was inspired by the recurring cycles of fire that shape the Cape’s fynbos ecology.
West Coast
This series was painted to honor the West Coast of South Africa and the ongoing mining that is destroying its natural beauty. Each painting aims to showcase its stunning landscape and what’s at stake if we don't protect it.
Down South
Spaces between the tides that welcomed me home and taught me so much after years of living abroad.
Underwater
An ode to the gentle rhythm of slow tides as they filter rays of sunshine drifting down through ocean hues and between the kelp forests.
