I had two fun-filled days painting in Stellenbosch with the well-known artist, Glendine
I was in Stellenbosch for a few days and decided to arrange a “painting-date” with my artist friend, Glendine. We had such a great time and we documented our process to share it with you.
Reflection on my Art journey of 2020
2021 – A NEW YEAR – A NEW STORY TO BE TOLD (Painted) At last… A new year, a new page, and in my case, yet another new town. It is 2021, 2020 might have been one of the longest, and simultaneously, in some weird way, one of the shortest years ever in my life.Nobody […]
Chapter One
The events in my life are some of my biggest inspirations for my art works. I love sharing my emotions, stories, and journey with my audience through my paintings.
My Happy Place, my Art Studio
My studio is my happy place, I invite you for a quick visit in my attic studio.
I feel that new beginnings is crawling up to me. I wish it was as easy as 1, 2, 3 to break out and to break through!
You are an Eagle in a Budgie cage, you have to break out and spread your wings and fly… I am on the merge of something new in my life, I cannot say what, as I don’t know yet. I see, or rather feel, all the signs and I feel restless, very restless. Omens keep […]
It is so that artists have shown through the hands the feelings they wished to represent. My Hands, Artist Hands
Thank you for my hands: We take our hands for granted, our hands do so much more than we realize. I felt gratitude come over me… gratitude for my hands and everything they do. By means of my hands, I have the privilege to convey my ideas. My hands put into practice, the ideas which […]
Just look at this! Odd Looking Tree captured my world as an artist perfectly for me, Mariaan.
Almost a year ago Rian did a marketing video for me for my first ever one-man exhibition in Bloemfontein at Kotze Art Gallery The video was very specific for the gallery and exhibition marketing but it was so great that I did not want to just let it “die a still death”. I asked […]

My Bunny Paintings
Up for “adoption”: “Flutter-Bunny” 76x92cm R10500 And if you thought this little bunny is small… think again… My Bunny paintings Although I did a lot of bunny paintings over the years, for some reason, I […]
Winds of change
My paintings hatch… bit by bit, starting as a little vague idea in my head, sometimes I walk with the possibility of an image for days, weeks, even months before it gets to a point of breaking through, even then, I usually do not know precisely where the image will end up once I put […]
Captured Moments – My first Solo exhibition
“Captured Moments” “Because every picture has a story to […]
To do or not to do
As an artist, like most other artists, I’m very scatterbrained and struggle with routine. Although a lot of people assume that artists only create, we need to establish a business. Part of our day to day`s activities is admin, marketing and keeping our websites up to date. This post is dedicated to all the mom’s out […]
