Basic Info

I was born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1986, a few years before South Africa gained its freedom from apartheid and emerged the 'Rainbow Nation'.

Growing up we moved a few times across South Africa, experiencing a beautiful range of cultures all from my back door. This showed me from an early age the beauty of humanity and fueled my passion for unity in diversity.

I have always gravitated towards vibrant colour and bold fashion, designing & creating my own outfits as a child, often to the irritation of my mother.

In 2016, I relocated to China with my husband to explore the abundant opportunities and vast culture that the Middle Kingdom has to offer.

"Manifestations of Colour"

My work is deeply inspired by diversity and the truth. My art is a manifestation of the belief that humans have been designed to be the colour and vibrancy in other people's lives, theophanies filled with colour and life.

My work could also be seen as a glance into an unseen spiritual realm.

My thought process and ideas are greatly inspired by the life and colour that are found all throughout China, particularly from the scenes of my adopted hometown, Hangzhou and its neighbour Shanghai.

I have a varied artistic expression that is poured out through digital illustration, mixed media and collage, I also enjoy experimenting with acrylics in a more abstract form.

My art is exceptionally unique, diverse and resonant with imagination and colour.
