About The Creative

I am a South African artist, maker, and activator of things in murals, paintings, photographs, film, text, sound, spaces and more. I am currently residing in Cape Town and The Garden Route. I have painted murals professionally since 2014. Amongst other things, I’m interested in raising awareness of our natural environment, and our connection to or disconnection from it. I am also interested in the public voice – what people want to talk about, which truths and frustrations exist, and how I may be a conduit for this voice. I love collaborating with and celebrating others through my art. I am also skilled in the trade of sign-writing and carry a deep appreciation for typography. As a former art director, I am also at ease creating work for film and photo sets.

My art speaks of Modern Utopia, the imagination of things far beyond, and the imagination of life and our world as we know it.
