I am a South African artist and writer with a lifelong love for and focus on the natural world. I studied Fine Art for four years, and my work remains grounded in close observation and traditional technique, consisting of small-scale ink studies of plants, birds, animals, and natural forms.
Working in fine lines and soft washes, I focus on detail, restraint, and the remarkable presence of each subject. These pieces are intentionally small and considered, drawn slowly, with attention to balance, spacing, and the subtle tonal qualities of ink on paper, from fine, considered lines to ethereal washes.
I am also the former editor of an award-winning lifestyle and community magazine, a role that shaped my understanding of visual storytelling, composition, and audience. This new chapter is of a more focused, hands-on creative practice centred on drawing and making.
I am the author and illustrator of two published plant-based cookbooks with Random House, further grounding my work in the relationship between image, narrative, and the natural world.
