About Me

For the past 15 years, my passion has been deeply rooted in the art of oil painting. I find solace in its forgiving nature, allowing me to express myself freely. Delving into the vibrant colors and complex textures of the medium is a constant source of joy for me, especially when confronted with a blank canvas full of possibilities.

In 2016, I earned my Fine Art Degree from Michaelis, University of Cape Town. During my studies, I excelled in a particular project and had the opportunity to assist in teaching younger students. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to receive numerous commissions for my paintings.

In 2023, I embarked on a new journey by hosting group art classes from my home, further sharing my knowledge and passion for art while continuing to pursue my own creative endeavors through painting.
