More Than Bones 🦵

The series continues, this time with my leg - although the foot didn't quite make it onto the page.

This one was a bit of a battle, though. I originally placed my hand somewhere completely different, but it was one of those days where the composition just didn't work. After fighting with it for a while, I changed the position and eventually got somewhere I was happier with.

A third piece has joined Lily and Lavender at Refill Creativity: Blue Lily. 🙌

This one is also looking for a new home.

More Than Bones

After the hand, I wanted to continue the series with another part of the body; this time, my foot.

The idea behind More Than Bones is pretty simple: underneath all the colour, shape and structure, we're more than what holds us together.

Apparently, feet are significantly more difficult to draw than hands. Who knew? 😂

A little bit of exciting news!

My artworks will now be exhibited at Refill Creativity, where I'll have a permanent space to display my work.

The first two pieces to be exhibited are Lily and Lavender.

Both are original oil pastel and pencil artworks and are currently available to purchase.

I'm really grateful to Refill Creativity for giving my work a place in their space and for supporting local artists. It's really special seeing something that started in my sketchbook now hanging on a wall for people to discover while they're enjoying a coffee. ☕🎨

Spring has arrived, and it seemed like a good time to bring some flowers back into your newsfeed. 🌹

This is one of my earlier coloured pencil sketches on black paper, where I was enjoying seeing how the dark surface could become part of the artwork rather than simply something to cover.

This original is available for R450.

I decided to sketch something completely different this time: a tiny frog.

The frog itself was fun.

The orange oil pastel, however, chose chaos.

No matter what I did, it refused to blend the way oil pastels usually do. I tried another orange. Same problem. I tried a third orange from a different set... Somehow it made things worse.

So I had to get a little creative, layering colours I wouldn't normally use just to get the coverage and blending I was after.

I've therefore come to the conclusion that my orange oil pastel is officially in jail until it learns to behave like a respectable oil pastel.

The frog, thankfully, is innocent.

I don't have a studio, so finding a place where I can sit down, switch off, and create means a lot.

Refill Creativity has become one of my favourite places to sketch. It's quiet, welcoming, and has such a creative atmosphere that it's easy to lose track of time while working on a sketch. ❤️

Whether I'm surrounded by oil pastels or coloured pencils, it's a space where I can simply enjoy the process.

Thank you to the wonderful team at Refill Creativity for creating such a welcoming environment for creatives. ☕🎨

Happy Women's Day to all the incredible women out there. 🔥

I'm especially grateful for the women who have supported my creative journey, whether you've bought an artwork, shared my work, encouraged me, or simply followed along.

Thank you for reminding me that art has a way of connecting people.

Here's to creativity, kindness, and lifting one another up.
