Artist Statement: Artists, both in history and contemporary who work to their own inner tempo inspire me the most. I don’t let myself get bored too fast. I bin my stillborns quickly. I enjoy producing something worthwhile that I love completely because that is when my paintings are best appreciated. If I admire Bernard Dunstan or Walter Sickert, then I want to paint something of my own as good if not
better. And if I enjoy Michelangelo’s ‘David’ in marble (who doesn’t?) then I sit down and sketch it
for four hours, which is exactly what I did in Florence late last year.
In December 2009 I exhibited at the 7th Florence Biennale along with six hundred and fifty artistsfrom 78 countries. (Three of the fi ve South Africans exhibitors won prizes).
Cedar Tree Gallery is giving me my first solo exhibition after the Florence Biennale and my Premier Solo in my home city that I love on the 11 May 2010.
