I was born in 1964 in Plymouth England, to a South African mother and UK trained carpenter. I then moved to Cape Town in 1966 with my family. As a young adult I attained a one year Fashion Diploma from Natal Technikon before moving back to Cape Town.

I am a self taught artist. Various art periods such as Pop Art, Surrealism, Art Deco and African Art have influenced my painting process which itself varies in style. Painting is my dominant medium, having worked in oils, acrylic and gouache. In these various mediums I explore fantasy worlds of sexual innuendos as well as African and Khoi-San symbolism.

I have exhibited at multiple galleries in South Africa and my work has featured in several interior decorating magazines such as Habitat, Home Owner and De Kat.
