Inspiration:

In this piece, I drew inspiration from the quintessential Jeffreys Bay beachscape—where whales glide through ocean waters and aloes stand resilient against coastal winds. Rather than a literal depiction, I chose to interpret the scene, seeking to capture the calming essence of the shoreline and the quiet presence of the Kouga region's unique flora and fauna.

 

Artist Bio:

I approach my practice with a sense of curiosity and openness—constantly learning, experimenting, and adapting my techniques. Rather than overthinking each step, I prefer to follow the natural feel and flow of the work, letting it evolve organically.

 

My work is typically developed from my own photography, using it as a foundation to explore and reinterpret what I see. Im naturally drawn to capturing and painting animals trying to express their distinct personalities and emotional presence.

I primarily work in oils. Colour—whether vivid and saturated or muted and restrained—is central to my practice. I believe it plays a vital role in shaping the emotional tone of a work, guiding how the viewer feels as much as what they see.
