A visual artist and communications and graphic design specialist from Cape Town, South Africa, the individual embarked on a diverse career journey that started in Marine Biology. After earning an MSc in the field, a bold career shift led them into web development, graphic design, and communications. When the seismic waves of the COVID pandemic hit, a strong urge to create emerged, prompting a return to the age-old technique of hand-printing and mixed media that they first encountered during their school days.
Inspiration for their work stems from a variety of sources, ranging from vintage medical and scientific collections to surreal landscapes of magical realism. Through a meticulous process, they create digital compositions using public domain images, imprinting and drawing them onto archival papers by hand. Their portfolio explores themes such as anatomy, biology, psychology, archetypal interplay, eroticism, decay, and rebirth, with each piece telling a unique story that invites viewers to interpret and find meaning.
With accolades in esteemed art competitions and international recognition, their artistic journey has been marked by success. The release of a debut book of art and poetry in 2022 and a collaboration with The Dresden Dolls and Amanda Palmer for an upcoming tour showcase their talent and reach in the art world. Offering high-end premium Giclee prints, framed prints and canvases, as well as greeting and art cards, their work is available for purchase to adorn homes and offices with unique and captivating pieces.
