Heather Divine, is one of the paintings that propelled me as an artist in an entirely new direction. It was like an “aha” moment for me. She was inspired by a photo shoot I did for a cosmetic company in South Africa when I was working as a graphic designer. We were jumping around on my veranda taking shots of each other, trying to get the perfect hair flip photo. One of the photo’s from this shoot became the beautiful “Heather Divine”. Four years later, I found myself living in Nashville and inspired to paint something new. I chose Heather as my subject. First I mirrored the image in Photoshop and then painted it with Oil on canvas. This painting was drawn by hand and then painted the traditional way. No grids, No tracing. I wanted to create something that would challenge my technique and precision. It was truly a labor of love.

Like most artists, my career began as a childhood obsession; An insatiable urge to replicate on paper what I saw with my eyes. My parents, wise enough to see this within me, enrolled me in private art classes in my early adolescent year. After 3 years of private instruction, my desire and progress led me to study for 5 more years at Hugo Naude Art Center in Worcester, South Africa. After graduating, with a new disciplined approach, I felt compelled to pursue structure. Namely, facial structure. So I drew face after face, and attended many live-model classes. After a while, my own perspective began to emerge in my otherwise purist portraiture constructions. This of course came from confidence emboldened by years of disciplined construction. Flashing forward a few years, and a handful of domestic and international exhibits, I am now coming full circle as an artist with my own unique, creative sensibilities-and a portraiture constructionist. My new work captures the subjectivity of shape abstraction and color relationship, along with the disciplined objectivity of human portraiture.
