About Me
I discovered a passion for drawing animals at a young age. Animals, especially the wildlife of my country, South Africa, always interested me because I was privileged enough to be exposed to these incredible animals, which are the heritage of South Africa, from a young age. In 2011 I took Visual Arts as a subject in high school, starting my first formal training. Since 2016 I committed myself to learning as much as I can on my own.
I originally started doing black and white drawings using charcoal and grey pencils, gradually broadening my mediums with oil painting. In 2016 I started drawing with color and pastel pencils.
Art is my passion, although currently only a hobby because of my being a full-time high school teacher, I see myself pursuing art full time as a career in the future.
I love sharing my talent with people and drawing favorite memories by commission.


My Mediums & Materials
Using the highest quality of pastels, color pencils, charcoal, and paper available to me, which means your pet portrait or animal artwork will stay looking great for a very long time.
I strive to draw as realistically as possible and consider drawing an ongoing practice to perfection. I love to create realistic animal and human drawings from the photographs provided by you.
Enquiring about a portrait
If you have a pet, or favorite animal, then I’d love to create a high quality, realistic artwork for you to treasure and enjoy. If you are thinking about commissioning me or if you would like to enquire about a possible commission, or have any questions about it at all, please feel free to contact me.
