As a born and bred South African, I have always had a love for Africa as a whole, Africa as a continent is known for its diversity, energy and harshness, yet there is a beautiful, peaceful energy that exists.

Those that live here feel it, those that visit feel it and most of those that have emigrated feel it and miss it. A common conversation is how Africa is in your blood or it gets into your blood if you visit.

​Growing up, I spent my childhood and until now outside, under the African sun with its people. All along I was and still am part of that energy. The following two paintings portray the peace, beauty, energy and mystery our continent through the beauty of its people. Look into their eyes and connect with their thoughts. Rich, earthy and vibrant colours to calm any space.
