"Proteas" |

"Shopping early evening in the rain" |
There are also inherent aspects to visual self-expression that evoke emotions and a sense of creative agency and searching in ourselves

"Umbrellas in the Rain - Dark" |
- Which other artists or movements influence your work?
No artist in particular, like everyone else I have had a mix of experiencing truly wonderful and truly miserable entities crossing my path - myself included.
I am currently busy with my Master's Degree in Philosophy and it is this discipline and search for answers to my existence which drew me to art initially.

"Rainy late afternoon out" |
Art has shown through the ages to be the catalyst for many philosophical changes in society and a reflection of the actual state of mind of all of us. Kind of life happening to you while you are busy making your own plans.

"Papawers in die veld" |
One can tell the conscientiousness of an age by studying the art of that time in human history - colours, texture, backgrounds all tell a story specific to history.
