I was born in South Africa, but currently live in beautiful County Wicklow, Ireland, where I work from my home studio.
After completing a Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design at the University of Stellenbosch, I followed my heart to Ireland and set up a Graphic Design & Photography Studio with my husband. Even though my day-job is very varied and creative, I missed the ‘hands-on’ process of painting and took it up again in 2018 after quite some time.
I have experimented with a variety of mediums, but watercolour seem to be the one I lean toward the most. I am lucky to live in a very picturesque part of the world, and with family in Africa, I never want for things to paint.
