About Me

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I'm a part time artist living in Johannesburg, South Africa.

I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil. As an adult I have neglected my art but now that my children are all grown up it is a bit easier to put paint to canvas.

I took art as a subject right through school and used to spend every moment I could in Art Class.

After finishing High School I went and studied Art at College, but was very dissapointed as there were no classes to teach painting techniques, etc.  Everything that we had learned up to that point had to be thrown out the window and we had to learn to 'express' ourselves.  I had always wanted to paint realistically and the focus on abstract at College really got to me.

It's only now after years of painting that I find myself doing abstract work every now and then when I feel the need to let the paint and canvas tell me what they want.
