I have opened a studio/gallery in Hermanus, Western Cape, SA. This beautiful studio doubles as a gallery for my latest work as well as an area for art courses, crit classes and workshops.

Colour continues to be a passion through which I express my work and is the medium through which I explore my personal spiritual journey.

As we relate to colour on a level that mirrors our personal journeys, the viewer too, becomes involved in the creative process.

Because of this, I find it important that the viewer finds his or her own meaning and experience in my artwork. My journey with my artwork ends when I bring it to the viewer  - the viewer's journey begins here.

As an artist and colour therapist , more can be found on my work on www.colourconnections.co.za
