Artist Statement:
Statement as an artist:
Each painting carefully
reflects life in different
facets - visualising, without
sacrifice, the unseen, untold
messages between every stroke
of the brush. Love for
people carefully expressed in
the eyes of different
characters; faces portraying
emotions behind forgotten
history.
Never to be caught in a rut of
monotonous colours, shapes or
genres - variety in all
aspects ensures freshness and
surprise to the viewer. An
added dimension of hovering
between abstract and reality,
the line in between -
sometimes vague, or
non-existent, the boundaries
of life traversable, knowing
that sadness coexists with
joy, and that loss yields to
birth and renewal.
For me, dark, sharp, dramatic
colours inspire intrigue while
down toned colours and lines
reflect life in a more sincere
manner. The careful fusion
of pigment and the variety of
topics in my paintings are
important ways not only to
authenticate my work, but to
acknowledge and recognize the
value of different people and
their culture. A painting
well done binds ethnic groups
together. Its strength is
revealed by the afflictions of
humanity.
Because the world cannot be
viewed in absolute terms,
greater reality is depicted
through everyday objects and
themes. A vibrant rebellion

ABOUT ME
---------------------------------------
I grew up in the Free State, South Africa; have a brother and a sister. During school years I took up classical music, speech and art. After matric I started working and took evening classes in art. I had a wonderful private tutor, teaching me all about perspective, technique and how to use different media. I then enrolled for a course in Graphic design in Cape Town.
During later years my husband and I moved to Gauteng where we settled.
Although I started art, speech and music lessons in early primary school, it was not until much later before I could involve myself into any God given talents.
With little time for myself having a full time career and seven children to raise, I dedicated my life to real estate for many years.
Now that the children have grown up I can spend more time painting and working on exhibitions.
