Artist, Photographer, Designer, 36

​

Since I can remember I could always draw. At Primary school my friends would tell me I'm going to be an artist one day. In high school the teachers commissioned me to draw portraits of their children. At age 17 I joined The Paint Basket art studio where Dennis Clark taught me how to paint. Dennis emigrated and asked me to take over and teach. At the time I was the youngest student there. I carried on teaching for 10 years. In those 10 years I also (self)studied Photography and Photoshop. Soon I began teaching these subjects too. 2014 I was selected to be part of Alice art gallery New Signature Exhibition. I sold out the first night. By 2023 I had done more than 700 murals. I finally made it as a fulltime artist. I Always felt God gave me these talents for a reason. I tried advertising for prophetic paint lessons etc, but non of these ideas panned out. I prayed and prayed. Why do I have this talent and this burning desire to change lives, but nothing wants to fall into place?! But bit by bit all my life lessons and journeys started falling into place like a puzzle. I had to learn art , photography, photoshop. To make people see the things I Imagine. Make them see the beauty that God created all around us. Appreciate it all. I had to be born in this time and era, of technology. As of 2024 I will be serving fulltime through images and creative projects. I'm currently studying Theology.
