A collection of paintings inspired by life and living in the Western Cape. Surrounded by the sea and the mountains it is not difficult to encounter the beauty of nature, however it is always how we choose to respond that makes these moments enduring and significant or simply transient. My paintings explore not only the visual aspects of what I see, but also the sensations experienced and my own response to the world around me. Each painting, made up of layers of colour and texture reveal my sense of wonder at creation in all its magnificent splendour. I am fascinated by the magnitude and vastness as well as the perfection in tiny details, the macro and micro perspectives, the layers to our lives.

My new body of work is inspired by the beautiful fynbos of the Western Cape. Each painting is a visual exploration of my response to the exquisite details, the textures and unexpected bursts of colour found all around me as I have hiked our mountains. The blackened remnants of past fires a stark reminder of the extreme hardiness and resilience hidden in the delicate beauty of nature. Plants that are able not only to withstand but to regenerate new life through the fire, a celebration of abundance and life. Each painting is made up of many layers of colour, texture and marks using a variety of mediums including, oil paint, acrylic paint, charcoal, oil sticks, acrylic ink and ink intense pencils. Each painting reveals my own personal response to the world around me and at the same time invites, you, the viewer to look, to absorb and to respond to what you see in your own unique and individual way.

My new body of work invites you into a space that is filled with colour and the wonder of spring, a celebration of the promise of new life and the beauty of nature. Inspiration was drawn from my many morning walks as I witnessed new greens, tiny buds, and splashes of colour pushing through. Each painting is my response to a moment captured in time expressing the “sense of spring”, the fullness of the sensations we experience rather than only responding to what is seen. Each one is an expression of the colours, delicate and yet vibrant, the soft, gentle, shifting light, the moving shadows, the gentle breeze, the sounds of life returning, and the smell of the earth awakening again. It is a celebration of abundance and life.
