Welcome to my website!

When I entered the exciting world of art, I wanted to present the viewer with an uplifting and beautiful experience. Because I respect the viewer I put much effort into each painting and hopefully they will find the same joy that I also receive when I look at other art work. My paintings are exhibited in galleries and I do commissions for private homes. I started with watercolours under the expert tuition of Katherine van Schalkwyk and later changed and found myself at home with the dynamic vibrancy of oils. Throughout my painting career I was privileged to attend numerous art demonstrations and painting courses which have all contributed to my art. Everyday life around me is an enormous resource and I especially love to portray people, still life’s and wild life . In my paintings it is the illumination, texture and colour variations of an object that capture my attention and that I want to explore. The translucency of light and how it affects anything it touches, whether it is spectacular or sparkling or subtle, inspires me. This is especially relevant since I believe my art is a gift from GOD, the Creator of Light. |
