I was born on 3 March 1983 in Klerksdorp, North West Province, and currently live and work in Melkbosstrand. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Multimedia Arts from the University of South Africa (UNISA).

I am a conceptual artist working mainly with printmaking, drawn to its layered and unpredictable processes as a way to explore cycles of life, impermanence, and our connection to the natural world. My practice includes linocut, etching, chine-collé, monotype, drypoint, embossing, engraving, botanical contact printing, relief processes, and cyanotype.

I often work with natural and everyday materials such as plant matter, eggshells, and used teabags. These simple, fragile objects carry their own quiet histories. They embody the transient and cyclical patterns of life, and remind me of the beauty that exists in the ordinary and easily overlooked.

Nature is both inspiration and metaphor in my work. Its rhythms of growth and decay, day and night, life and death, mirror our inner landscapes and personal transformations. Making becomes my way of responding to these cycles; of working through change, loss, and renewal.

Philosophy is woven through my creative process. Stoic and Eastern ideas shape how I think about impermanence and meaning, while the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi reminds me to accept change, embrace imperfection, and seek stillness within life’s constant movement.

Marcus Aurelius wrote: “Observe constantly that all things take place by change… the universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are and to make new things like them.”

This Stoic understanding of change echoes the cycles I explore in my work. Through my art, I aim to create space for reflection, to honour the process of becoming, and to invite a deeper awareness of our place within life’s ongoing flow.
