I was lucky enough to be gifted a professional art career while still in my teens.  I grew up in Johannesburg, and loved cartoons, could draw fast, and at age 15, was invited to produce storyboards for Ogilvy, a  top creative ad agency during school vacations🥳. It was incredible fun, and drawing fast with markers and creating punchy visuals improved my artistic skills.

 That’s why I am also introducing a collection cartoon style Tees here: I’m not pretending to be only a fine artist. I love the immediacy of strong line and color, and I put my cartoony shorthand into my painting, and my painting feeds back into my digital designs. I’m always drawing and painting, and I allow my art to spill out wherever it feels 😊  

 I blended this approach with abstract expressionsim using acrylic on canvas. I love rugged texture and I don’t leave out the bright South African light when I paint.

My canvases and paint are professional grade. The canvases are gallery wrapped and sturdily wired and ready to hang immediately. The canvases are either 1.5 up to 3 inches in depth, which means you do not need a frame for displaying purposes. But I do love frames, depending on the design of the home and room. 

I think a good box, or float frame makes most paintings, [not just mine😅 ], look more substantial and adds presence, especially for the smaller pieces, and you will love seeing how it makes a piece look even more stunning on the wall, but of course the frame is something you can decide on after living with the art for awhile. Some of my customers have shown me frames on the phone while at the frame shop and we choose together. My work is generally sunny, strong and colorful. Subjects vary from large abstract paintings, florals, womens faces, and some wilder more expressive characters and urbanscapes.
