The Spaces Between
1.5m x 1.2m impasto oil on canvas framed in kiat. Early years spent in streets filled with Jacaranda trees formed an indelible and vivid memory. When I recall these happy times I am reminded how it is the spaces between busyness / the quiet contemplation and absorption of joy, contentment, safety and the feeling of relaxation are what we truly cherish - in my words - the spaces between

Just Passing Through
“Just Passing Through” 200cm x 200cm oil on canvas. Inspired by my own experience with peaceful moments spent walking within Celia Forest upon Table Mountain, Cape Town. As a creative, the most precious, enjoyable and profound part of the creative process is the opening up of my spirit and intuition to the mysterious, ancient Presence which pulsates consistently and eternally through all living things - both visible and invisible. As we find ourselves within modern society, of which concrete, digital and an array of man-made structures exits, via my impasto impressionist oil paintings I wish to offer viewers a mental and spiritual respite into those emotions of wellbeing and tranquility that we all experience when actually spending time in nature.

Recalibration
Oil on canvas 100cm x 120cm. Once upon a time, I worked within Sabi Sands, Kruger National Park. This experience deeply affected me and my mental well-being.

Puts everything in harmony within yourself.

Human-being
Oil on canvas 90cm x 70cm. When I lived in New Zealand, one of my most favourite ways to spend my time was in the lush green forest which are prolific there.
