Artist’s Bio
I was born in Durban in 1984 and raised in Pietermaritzburg. After completing my Masters in Fine Art at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, I taught art at St. Benedict High School in Pinetown. After two years I left teaching, in favour of a full time art career. I have been living and working as an artist in Johannesburg since the beginning of 2012.
Artist’s Statement
Architectural forms make up the subject of my recent work. The subjects range from prominent structures to the seemingly inconsequential. The structures hold specific meaning to me as totems marking the space I live in. Some are seen only from a distance until I consciously choose to visit them. Others are casually passed by daily until I notice them. I convey the subject in a number of mediums including digital imagery, prints and painting. I enjoy using each medium to suggest strength and fragility, permanence and impermanence through texture, layers and perspective.
