In
1999 I opened a country Gallery at Ngwenya Glass Village in Muldersdrift.
For seven years this was my main marketing venue. I have also
participated in group exhibitons, have exhibited regularly at
the WSSA's Manor Gallery in Fourways, Johannesburg. In 2007 I
held a successful SoloExhibition in Edinburgh, Scotland.
I
paint in a number of genres. Although principally known for my
wildlife work, I enjoy painting landscapes. Portraiture has recently
become my main interest.
In
my wildlife studies, and paintings of the peoples of Africa, I
strive to capture a fugitive moment, seeking always to suggest
rather than describe. I often use a vignetting technique as I
enjoy reminding the viewer that the painting is an artefact.
The
challenge is to move further and further away from a photographic
representation to a more creative interpretation of the subject.
My
watercolours are in private collections in the USA, Australia, Europe
and the UK.
