Princess Macy - and 'the look'. (Salt & Pepper Schnauzer gifted to us by a dear friend.)
Art found me at a young age, but it is my love of languages that saw me through school and university.

I started painting in 1994 when I was abroad on a Scholarship (La Reunion Island) and I bought a book (in French!) about l'Aquarelle (watercolour) painting. Drawing/sketching was with me long before then. I grew up in Bonteheuwel, a 'rough' neighbourhood in Cape Town.

Currently I live in Kalk Bay, Cape Town, Republic of South Africa. All artworks are for sale on this site, some of the originals have been sold or donated however, they can be printed on canvas or paper for a smaller cost than the original.

For fundraising, art may be used for auctions and also community projects such as wall murals. I also host (fundraising) events for celebrations such as 'Woman's day' and paint with groups to help bring out the artist in everyone. I'm at LIttle Stream Constantia on Sunday 9th August 2026, doing just that.

I dot some objects around the house as reminders of how to show my finest, lest i forget, and lets face it, we all do sometimes.
Beautiful stained glass windows of church
