Nature’s Harmony
I love these small colourful birds. They are often found in Kruger National Park at sandy river banks.
“Nature’s Harmony”—four bee-eaters on a mopani branch.
Pelagic Fury
A moment of raw competition—two gannets battling over a fish off Plettenberg Bay. I observed them during the Ocean Festival 2025.
My painting celebrates the wild energy of the sea and the fleeting, dramatic beauty of nature’s survival.

Cradle of Hope
I painted this pangolin cradled in the protective hands of its carer, a poignant symbol of hope amid the ongoing crisis of poaching and illegal trade.
The vibrant red and orange hues in the background serve as a stark reminder of the dangers this remarkable creature faces, as the only mammal with scales that cover its whole body. Let us protect the vulnerable before it’s too late. 🌍✨

Dusty Charm
This drawing is inspired by a moment at Addo Elephant National Park a few years ago, where an elephant, cloaked in red dust, exuded both power and playfulness.
The cheeky smile is an expression of artistic license 😜

Kgalagadi Dusk
‘Kgalagadi Dusk’ — wildebeests gather at a waterhole, bathed in the golden glow of evening, while one stands apart in shadow, a quiet outsider. A moment of beauty and solitude in the Kalahari. 🌅🧡

New Beginnings
‘New Beginnings’ beautifully captures the tender yet powerful bond of a mother owl with her three unique chicks, each embodying a different spirit—anxious, curious, and confident.
Nestled in the heart of a tree stump, this family symbolizes the strength and variety of emotions in each new chapter of life. This piece reminds us that every journey begins with a mix of wonder, bravery, and a touch of uncertainty. 🦉🌱✨
