the story...
My deep love for the natural world has always been a part of who I am. I look back fondly on my childhood family holidays in the Kruger National Park, weekends spent along the Vaal River, and getaways exploring the stunning beaches and rock pools of South Africa’s Garden Route. These experiences planted the seeds of my lifelong connection to wildlife and nature.
I hold a degree in Zoology, but with the looming Y2K programming challenge, I took an unexpected detour into software development—a career I still enjoy today.
Alongside my passion for wildlife, I’ve always been drawn to creative pursuits. Over the years, I’ve dabbled in knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking, and adult colouring. But in 2023, I discovered my true creative calling: Wildlife Realism, brought to life with coloured pencils.
Through this art form, I aim to capture and preserve the beauty of the natural world. My goal is to let your cherished wildlife and safari memories adorn my paper canvas, creating timeless pieces that celebrate your adventures and preserve your bush and safari moments for generations to come.
