About

I am a South African landscape oil painter based in the small town of Aberdeen, in the heart of the Great Karoo. My journey has always been guided by the horizon and it is the Camdeboo region that currently defines my practice.

My work focuses on contemporary painterly realism. I am captivated by the specific effects of light and the unique "glow" found in the Karoo landscape. My goal is to capture the essence of this rugged, luminous terrain, whether I am working en plein air or in the studio, 

Living and working in Aberdeen allows me to immerse myself in the environment I paint. My process is grounded in value and colour studies, ensuring each piece reflects a deliberate and focused observation of the natural world. I invite you to explore the light of the Karoo through my eyes.
