Meet the artist
I’m a full-time freelance artist in South Africa. From pencil portraits to murals, my work has always been about making something personal, by hand.
My background spans press illustration, graphic art, sign writing and the textile industry. These days, that experience finds its way into the people, animals and ideas I draw.
A little more about me ↗Thinking of a commission?

A loved one, a favourite pet, a family moment or something entirely your own.

03

A person. A memory. An idea.
