Visual Artist

My Life

I was born and raised in South Africa and have spent many years living in the UK, Spain and Australia. These places are all home to me.

In 2015 I left a career in software development in Melbourne to study classical drawing and painting at the Barcelona Academy of Art. After graduating I stayed on as a resident artist, teacher and program coordinator.

Since early 2020 I have been learning traditional (and some non-traditional) printmaking techniques, painting and exhibiting in Australia.

My Work

Existentialism and eastern philosophy, metaphysics & psychology have all had a great impact on the way that I think about the external world, and continue to provide me with much of my inspiration.

My work also deals with my very subjective experience of life. When words fail, symbolism and abstraction provide a language to understand and convey often complex feelings and emotions.
