About Me
About Me
I am a South African Artist living in Portugal
I offer Art Lessons on a weekly basis either online or from my studio on Saturday mornings. The Saturday morning lessons are for children from 10 years up and consist of 2 hour lessons between 9 and 1pm each Saturday. Online lessons are available for adults on Saturday afternoons. I love sharing my knowledge of drawing and painting with creative people as being an Artist is a somewhat solitary profession. Having the opportunity to share creative experiences is wonderful. Please contact me for details.
My style of painting is varied as I find it impossible to stick to one style for very long. I have a few methods of using paint and continue to learn and grow (I hope!) with each painting. I paint in Acrylic and use sponges, large brushes, sometimes drips and splashes - especially on Abstracts which I LOVE painting. It is really easy to paint a BAD abstract and really difficult to paint a good one.
Portraits are a fascination of mine and I choose to paint faces a lot. Also Ballet as I have always been fascinated by the grace, strength and beauty of Ballet dancers. They are just amazing.
I recently held an exhibition at Albuquerque Lima Gallery in Coimbra and was delighted at the positive response I received at this, my first exposure to the European art scene.
Please feel free to view my Portfolio and contact me for which work is currently available for purchase.
