I AM

This series tells the stories of a handful of South African women, who indirectly represent women all over the world. Each painting is 50 x 70 cm, oil on canvas and their names have been chosen for very specific reasons...

I try to convey the story, personalities and character of these ladies, while also trying to inspire the viewer to search their true authentic self when they look into their eyes. What do you see in them? Can you guess their story? What is your first impression? Looks can be deceiving…And when you look closely, what then...do you see in yourself? What is your story? What do you portray to the world?

And is it real?
