Profile

I'm a self-taught fine art painter and amateur photographer based in South Wales. I was born and raised in Pretoria, South Africa where I developed an abiding interest in and enjoyment of wildlife and nature which continues to this day. Drawing and painting what I saw around me helped me to appreciate the beauty and fragility of the African animals and their surroundings. I quickly realised that creative use of light, colour, shape and texture could powerfully illustrate the scenes which moved me so much. Today I continue to pursue my interest in nature, wildlife and my current surroundings while capturing my interpretations using fine art media. I also run my own small business where is sell high quality prints of my original fine art paintings.​

One of my favourite quotes by one of my favourite artists:

​

"If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere."

- Vincent Van Gogh
