Fynbos and Fantasies

29 Dec 2020

Every year or two, I gather a group of artist friends together and we mount an exhibition at our local Bistro over the festive season.

There are six of us this year and a wonderful exhibition it’s turned out to be too. Our opening was sadly cancelled due to Covid restrictions (how I look forward to the day when the word Covid is a distant memory!), but not to be too daunted we’ve put together an online catalogue. I’ts an eclectic exhibition of painting, pastels, printmaking, ceramics, fibreart and woodcraft.

Colouring know-How

21 May 201731 Dec 2020

Exciting news! My new book ‘Colouring Know-How’ is about to hit the shelves in South Africa – and hopefully worldwide soon (we’re working on it!). Look for it in all good bookshops from the beginning of June – if they don’t have it, please ask. You can also order it from Creative Company.

Vice Versa

12 May 201731 Dec 2020

What a wonderful theme for an exhibition! I am part of an exhibition running at Art.b gallery at the moment entitled Vice Versa, curated by Juria Le Roux. Invited artists were asked to find a ‘partner’ and each were then asked to to a work of their impression of the other. This could take the form of a construction, written work, sculpture or a portrait which some chose to do, while others are more abstract works and some just simply quirky. My partner is Victor Harley, and these are our contributions… every picture tells a story. Victor’s mixed media work is entitled ‘Conversations with a disproportionate loss’, while mine is ‘The dichotomy of the seen and the unseen ‘.
