Besides the blur that was childhood life really feels like it began after university. When I decided to take a chance and ask the world what it had to offer me, because suddenly I knew I had something to offer.

My sketches, photographs and other arts have always been the tools by which I come to understand new places and familiar places too. I love to explore new and new within the old and then to transform it into either narratives of understanding or maps of places - I love maps.

I work with a variety of creatives around the city of Pretoria in hopes of establishing Pretoria as its own creative hub. Its a magical quiet city that feels to innocent sometimes for the world that we live in, but as the adminstrative capital of a highly corrupt nation its irony runs deep. I believe in people taking control of their own desitinies and in all my work I like to celebrate the beauty of people in places. I dedicate all my work to the people who have surrounded me with their love and wisdom.
