Suikerbossie and Sunbird
Created: 2004
Medium: Linen sealed to board with pigments, resins and oil top coat.
From Chapmans Peak above Long Beach, Noordhoek with a view of Kommetjie in the distance.
The red head suikerbossie personification represents all the beautiful young earthly alternative mothers in the area at the time that seemed to have a deep connection with the stunning fynbos nature surrounding us.
The Paradise Painting
Created: 2009
Medium: Oils on Canvas
From high on Chapmans Peak, the view across to Hout Bay. This exact spot exists in all its fynbos splendor. This painting explores the crossover of reality and fantasy using colour, lighting and placement.
The Whale Painting
Created: 2011
Medium: Pigments, inks and oil on board
The day the Pilot Whales beached on Kommetjie beach. A great tragedy played out that day that ended in such chaos. Everyone tried to help, but sadly most of the pod were euthanised.
The policemen on order to carry out the task appear as the angles of death in deep mourning on either side, as young girls are singing to the dying whales.
The universe in the distance and the new eggs of life at the base of this painting represents the circle of life that goes on.
