Original paintings

Painted in the colours
nature already chose.

Rich, saturated colour in oil and acrylic, drawn from the natural world — painted since finding my way back to the brush.

About the artist

Painting started for me at seven, on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal: salt air, wide skies, and colour everywhere you looked. By twelve, the brushes had been packed away.

I went on to study computer science at UCT and spent years building things out of logic. Two years ago I came back to the canvas and found it had waited. These days I care less about getting a scene right, and more about getting it felt.

“The brush remembered what I'd forgotten.”
