Since childhood, she has shown a great interest and appreciation for all forms of art and culture. Her passion grew and she became far more involved with experimentation in the arts. In the 90’s she relocated to Cape Town and experienced success with her exhibitions. In 2002 she opened a gallery in Melkbosstrand. Her art has been displayed abroad including the USA (North Carolina) and Namibia.
Her work is very unique, combines realism with gentle abstract motives and techniques.
