 THE ARTIST

I was born in Klerksdorp in South Africa on the 19th February 1979. I grew up in a loving, supportive and art inspired home in Klerksdorp and lived here my whole life since now. I studied Personal Assistant Secretarial work after metric and worked for many years. I have a loving family with three children. I work predominantly in oils as a medium and I do versatile paintings like landscapes, seascapes, flowers, animals, portraits or anything that I feel inspire me to paint. I do paintings on order too. I love my work as a painter! My paintings "speak" for themselves as it may be a part of a memory, story or a special moment that I want to lay down on canvas and it is almost like it "lives forever" through generations of time. Just look for example at Leonardo da Vinci's timeless Mona Lisa or Vincent van Gogh's Irises!! That is why I love to work in oils because it can persevere people and its special moments you can capture for generations to come. Oil paint is the best quality medium you can get! I am grateful to have inherited this talent to be able to give something back to my God and the world to enjoy.
