Cape Town artist showcases her unique PAINTING & SCULPTURE.I curate and deal in SOUTH AFRICAN botanical art.

Surrounded as we are by the whirlpool of negative media, world leaders trying to out-mad each other daily, local politicians pushing thorns in our side and Kokerbooms keeling over, I have picked up my angle grinder and paint brushes to create a few moments of calm and contemplation.
I am a hard-edge abstract Cape Town artist and botanical art curator known for painting and sculpture. Colour stimulates our brains and our imaginations and I want my works to inject life and vibrancy onto the walls of homes and working spaces. Audiences complete these visual puzzles that as they work out their own meaning in their heads.

I am the curator and project leader of the James & Shirley Sherwood Botanical Art Collection at the Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden. I curate an annual Botanical Art & Photography exhibition for them. I am the primary contact for the sales of these works and I represent some of South Africa's best botanical artists. I have helped Ellerman House build their first botanical art collection and have placed many works in prestigious collections in South Africa. I chair the Botanical Artists' Association of southern Africa (Cape).
