“I have always loved drawing and painting and I prefer to paint flowers – any flowers!  My paintings come from the heart and my style is expressive, never precise or rigid.  I try to capture on canvas that feeling that I get when I see something real, something beautiful.  My paintings depict beauty,  colour, movement and authenticity.  I think these things are best sought and found in nature. “

“Ek was nog altyd lief vir teken en vir verf.  Ek verkies om blomme te verf – enige blomme!  My skilderye kom uit die hart en my styl is ekspressief en vloeiend – nooit presies of rigied nie. Ek dink mens kan in die natuur die beste inspirasie kry – ek kry daaruit kleur, skoonheid, beweging en egtheid en ek probeer dit in my skilderye weergee.”
