About

A South African born Artist, I completed a BA Fine Arts (Honours) degree at the University of Pretoria in 2006. Since my first project space exhibition, titled Zamalek (2008), at Gordart Gallery in Johannesburg, I have participated in numerous international and local exhibitions at Galleries, Art Fairs, Art Studios and many other public spaces.

In the last few years as a full time artist, I have been part of many arts initiatives supported by different patrons. My continual work as an exploring creative has resulted in me winning the 2016 SA Taxi Foundation Art Award. And In 2017 I was selected to take part in the 2018 Comic Blast, artist residency at Arteles Creative Center in Finland.

I am currently working in, Johannesburg, South Africa.

My Artworks are included in the collections of Nandos UK and SA, Hollard, Spier, Alpine Attitude, Taxi SA, The South African National Art Bank.
