"Throughout my painting career I have always been aware of the natural elements which create the awesome kaleidoscope of colours, and the powerful forces of seasonal festivals which alter the moods of the landscapes from day to day.
I was born and have lived in Cape Town all my life. During the last 25 years, I have been privileged to travel into the wilderness areas of Namibia and Botswana, where I have been rewarded with the visual, mental, and spiritual magnificence of nature. Its moods, its balance, its strength, its vastness, its ever changing colours, its dramas, and its ability to survive in spite of unnatural interference have had a profound influence on me as a painter.
In my works I share with those who are interested in the majesty of the ancient Baobabs, the jewel of the Okavango Delta, the vastness of the Kalahari, the dramatic skies and the wilderness where one can hear the silence."
