About Me

I have been drawing and painting from a very young age and; over time; have developed my skills and techniques with both paintbrush and pencils. I draw more than i do paint, but when i do paint i use oils on canvas and am still developing my skills with that medium.

I was born in the UK but my parents moved to South Africa when i was a mere baby. My Family and i moved around South Africa a fair bit and in that time i had the priviledge of living on a game reserve within the Kwazulu Natal region. It was within that environment that i developed a love for nature, hence the desire to draw african wildlife so much.

Over the years friends and family received many different hand drawn pictures as christmas and birthday presents, but i had never sought to actually sell my work, not realising just how lucrative a business that this could actually develop into...until recently.

It is only recently that i have actually aspired to sell my artwork, and hopefully make a business from it.

I currently love in the UK once again and am drawing every day and couldnt think of anything else i would rather be doing. Drawing is my life and there isnt a day that goes by where i dont discover that there is something new for me to create.

I have also begun to learn the art of glass engraving...so what this space!
