Biography
I am a self-taught artist and software developer based in Cape Town. While I enjoy the structured, problem-solving nature of software development, painting offers a different kind of experience, one that is intuitive, hands on and free from rules or expectations. It creates space for silence, play and the acceptance of imperfection.
My process is intuitive and often unpredictable. Sometimes I begin with an idea or a source of inspiration, and other times I simply paint for fun and see where the paint takes me. The finished piece almost never looks exactly as I imagined it would, and I've learn that that's okay, its part of the process.
Through colour, texture and movement, I allow each artwork to develop in its own way. Painting can be exciting, frustrating, tedious, playful or relaxxing, but it continues to teach me to let go of control, accept unexpected outcomes and trust what emerges.
