My paintings are quiet invitations to pause and notice the extraordinary within the ordinary. Born in colonial Zambia and shaped by life in South Africa and the UK, I bring a global perspective to my work—one that is rooted in memory, migration, and the search for belonging.
As a self-taught artist working primarily in acrylics, I am drawn to scenes where light transforms the familiar: a sunlit village pathway, the gentle ritual of hanging laundry, the hush of dusk settling over a winter landscape. These moments, often overlooked, become sanctuaries—spaces where resilience, beauty, and meaning quietly endure.
Nature’s persistence, the poetry of daily routines, and the interplay of color and atmosphere are central to my practice. Each painting is an exploration of how light and memory shape our experience of place and time. I strive to create work that evokes nostalgia and tranquility, inviting viewers to reflect on their own stories and the subtle grace woven into everyday life.
Ultimately, my art is a celebration of resilience—of people, of nature, and of the rituals that anchor us. Through my paintings, I hope to offer moments of calm, connection, and wonder in a world that moves too quickly.
In addition to my original artwork, I have a particular fondness for creating commissions that capture the personality and charm of a beloved pet or just a place that tugged at your heartstrings. Every commission is an exciting journey, as I work closely with clients to bring their ideas to life on canvas. My aim is to create pieces that not only enhance spaces but also resonate with the heart. Thank you for visiting my website; I invite you to explore my collections and discover the art that speaks to you. I look forward to creating something special together!
