Words of the artist:

“As a painter I am aware of the role art making plays as a vehicle for communication and personal expression, and that it provides me with the means to tackle difficult subjects. I was inspired early on in my career by the simplicity and power of African, Southern Folk and Ancient Art. I experiment, investigate and utilize the power of this visual language to comment about climate, social issues and environmental subjects through painting, sculpture and mixed media works.
