Long before leaving high school I knew that ART had chosen me for a lifetime partnership. I am Hugely interested and pre-occupied with the South African landscape. My style has evolved from boring... precious brushwork to far more spontaneous painting.The foundations for my life as an artist were FIRMLY grounded in years of discipline as a professional illustrator .In more recent times my paintings seem to merge between what I call Impact Impressionism and Modern Expressionism...Ultimately. .. no matter how divergent.. the underlying message is all about self discovery and personal fulfilment.I am convinced that Good Technique Fascilitates Passion.
