knowledge flows to us through the action

of art

we gravitate toward where our hearts

beat faster, our eyes widen

irresistibly drawn into some preformed

pact to try, 

to taste

to take ourselves beyond and back

the subtle thrill of inner movement

I understand my world through painting

_

I was born and raised on harsh but

beautiful land near the Drakensberg

mountains, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.

The wild freedom of my childhood

encouraged an intrinsic connection to

nature which influences both my subject

matter and approach to form and colour
