Info: Born 1952 in Cape Town. The unspoilt beauty of that region of the Langkloof is still vivid in my memory. My school years were spent in Cape Town where I completed my education at Art school in graphic art specifically. My career followed the commercial and manufacturing world of the creative arts, but something was missing. I felt the desire to be an artist but lacked the courage and conviction until in 1986 when my wife persuaded me that it was not only possible but also necessary. At first I taught art, but longed for the day when a painting career alone would be sufficient to put not only bread, but also cheese, wine and fruit, on the table. That wish happened, when in 1990 we moved to Greyton in the Overberg. This tranquil town lies in a valley between the Riviersonderend mountains and the river itself. It is a sprawling patchwork of mainly wheat, oats and barley fields, each season bringing with it a variety of ochres, reds, oranges and greens, punctuated by blocks of neon yellow canola fields. In 1996 we moved back to Cape Town. My eyes were opened to new perspectives of this beautiful city. One such an example is the wonderful architecture and people of the "Bo-Kaap" and I could not resist the temptation to put this on canvas. The result was unexpected and I am enjoying the journey.
