Introduction I work in the mediums of sculpture, painting and drawing. After graduating in sculpture from Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2006, I worked extensively, for festival and theatre industries creating large outdoor sculptures, installations and giant puppets; holding development workshops; completing private commissions; And I am now re-focusing on my fine art. Themes I focus on in my work are: growth, transformation, journey, life and death cycles, dualities of male and female, mortality, divinity and flesh, pain and love; revealing and unravelling the secret, silent places beneath skins, below layers and veils of guise and illusion... Along with producing my personal work towards a solo exhibition, I also receive commissions. I have ranges of small artworks that are available for sale at The Fringe Arts; Haas, Bokaap; Imagenius, Cape Town; and Dorp Street Gallery in Stellenbosch. Look out for my new website in August 2012.
