My Story
I was born in Durban, KwaZulu Natal, and studied fine art at the Natal Technicon under some of South Africa’s foremost contemporary artists. The late 70’s were exciting times to be studying art; I graduated with an HDE majoring in Painting in 1980.
Many years were spent journeying in the commercial arena, with my creative passion taking a firm back seat. Art-making was confined to some oil paintings, graphite and charcoal drawings, cartooning, comic book development, and some creative woodwork; all valuable experiences that enhance the interpretation of current subject matter.
My work can be described essentially as abstract expressionist.
I enjoy the fluidity and smoothness of oil painting on large canvases, and each piece stands in some way as a declaration of hope in a dark broken world, a synthesis of light and shadow, beauty, truth and redemption.
