I am a self-taught visual artist based in Cape Town.
My photographic work is primarily a form of social commentary.
Best known for a series of expressionist, hand-painted photographs of township scenes which were exhibited at galleries in Germany, the Netherlands and at the “Photo LA 2004”
in Los Angeles, USA.
More recently my work has been exhibited by several galleries in South Africa including the
Irma Stern Museum, the Bell-Roberts Gallery, Focus Contemporary and Kim Sacks Gallery.
I was an award winner at the Spier Contemporary 2010 for a documentary photographic project focussing on informal recyclers in Newtown, Johannesburg.
For the past 15 years, I have been working as a freelance art director in the film industry
and have recently retired to focus on becoming a full-time visual artist.
Cape Town in early 2011. I am pleased to say that the show was very successful.
