About

Born in South Africa, I immigrated to Australia in 2017. With a deep love for animals since I can remember. I have always been inspired to draw them. From wildlife to horses, the details in their fur, their eyes and their unspoken character, is something that I have always tried to capture.

My signature style is the absence of background. Focussing just on the subject , with no distractions. Putting my soul on paper with the subject, unapologetically, and with no where to hide.

I have always done commission work since I was 16 to earn extra money, and this continued throughout my life. On 15 September 2024 I quit my career of over 20 years in the thoroughbred industry, and became an full time artist. I am constantly exploring new subjects, and cannot wait to share it with everyone.
