This painting my my entry piece to the 2017 series of SKY Portrait Artist of the Year. I entered the competition in the hope of generating some more positive exposure. My work was accepted and I had the privilege to paint poet and author, Ben Okri - and was a finalist in my 'heat'. I entered the competition again in 2019 and am currently featured in the 2020 series - I won my round and got through to the semi-finals. i have painted myself - and used myself as a model/character in my narratives so many times, that my face is a map well traveled. With this particular image I wanted to convey a sense of peace with the idea of ageing - accepting and loving who I have become.

United Kingdom
I am a figurative oil painter with work in collections throughout South Africa as well as in Chile, Germany and the United Kingdom. I am originally from Cape Town, South Africa - where I Completed a Fine Art Honours Degree and have been painting professionally since 1999 after many years working as a cabinet maker, running my own design and manufacturing business. After three successful solo shows and regular participation in group shows, competitions and art events, I moved to the United Kingdom with My family in 2009. I have taken part in various group shows in Berkshire while creating a body of work for my first solo show in England. In 2016 I was chosen to participate in Sky Portrait Artist of the Year, which aired in spring 2017 on Sky Arts. I entered again in 2019 and went quite a bit further than the first heat - this will air in 2020 on Sky and Channel 4. I continue to exhibit in Open Studio/Arts Trail events and groups, and although these events are wonderful in terms of local exposure and a valuable and encouraging way to engage with the public about my painting, I am hoping to be accepted into an appropriate gallery with a wider audience.
