Growing up close to nature in KwaZulu-Natal, I have always loved painting and exploring my creative side. In recent years, I have begun working with greater intention, motivated by a passion for painting and a strong desire to share my artwork more openly, creating meaningful connections between my work and those who encounter it.
I explore the quiet detail of the natural world through pen, ink, and watercolour, with a focus on botanicals, birds, and animals, sometimes combining fine line with soft washes of colour.
I also enjoy creating surface pattern designs for fabric, wallpaper, and products, and value the opportunity for my artwork to move beyond the page into functional form, where it can be enjoyed and appreciated by others.
I am a mom to two teenage daughters and my fur babies, who are also an important part of my daily life and creative world. Family life keeps me grounded, and much of my inspiration comes from the natural world around me and the quiet moments I find between the busyness of everyday life.
