I am a fine artist working in mixed media .I am equally fascinated by organic interconnected patterns and figurative art. I love the patterns that have a rhythm and expression which while distinctly recognisable, are never predictable.

I am fortunate to spend half the year in London and the other half in Johannesburg,South Africa. I am moved by the multicultural presence on the streets of both these cities, and sometimes paint distinct images of people and their lives in one location and other times I unite the images- in this way I feel close to that humanity.
