Official page for visual artist working in oils. Color your world, contact me for commissions. For me art is about expressing the blessing which is 'my life'.

Thanks for joining me on my journey. My paintings are inspired by everyday life: a glance between strangers; children at play; the colour harmony of an early morning sky; how the sunlight catches a flower; the abstract shapes of a bare tree; walking along familiar roads or seeing the people I love i.e. transferring Gods beautiful creation onto canvas. My art represent the joy I find in the small t

hings in life. It is about how I view people and places and relate to them. This is what I hope to share with you, seeing life through my eyes. Oil paint is my preferred medium. I find the rich colours and creamy texture agreeable with my work practice. Painting makes me feel alive in a special way. It's a little bit like falling in love. At first it is only about what the first glance promised. Then the more you look, the more you like what you see and the more you look, and then it seems to be only you and the paint on the canvas. That is what I love about painting.

Sea impressions, 9x6cm colour maps of my ever elusive muse.
Studies for new work to come, the ocean in all its rhythms and moods…

Gorgeous Vic Bay!
Beautiful cloud formations, and surf crashing on a rocky beachside - an outdoor painter's dream. Feeling blessed.

A throwback to August 2025, Friends & I exhibition in Oudtshoorn at the Klein Karoo Klassique. It was an opportunity for me to show some of my plein air work that I did in Paris during my residency at the Cité internationale des arts during May and June 2025.
This year 7-9 August "Friends & I" are back at the Prince Vintcent building in Oudtshoorn for a brand new show. Please visit!!

Sunrise painting at Wilderness Beach, how blessed am I.
And today I had a partner in crime!
The talented Teresa Roelofse McGregor (a fellow SCAVA artist) joined me just before sunrise on this cold morning ánd Leentjiesklip did not disappoint, she showed us her best colors and we can only strive to capture a glimmer of this breathtaking beauty.

May you be blessed in your beautiful new space, wishing you all the best in Swellendam!
