Welcome to my blog. I am a Durban based photographer and artist who has successfully turned my passion of creating and capturing pictures into a career. Whether I am elbow deep in paint in my art studio or up a tree behind the lens I am as happy as can be.

When it comes to my Fine Art work I love making mixed media pieces and have had a number of exhibitions to date. As far as photography goes, I adore taking pictures of people and enjoy being able to combine my creative fine art background with a sound technical element in order to tell stories.

After completing a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art at the University of Cape Town (Michealis) I spent a few years travelling the globe. Once back I finished a National Diploma in Photography at the Durban University of Technology.

More recently I have been profiled on South Africa’s number one lifestyle TV show Top Billing, nominated as a finalist in the Nikon Africa Photographic Awards being judged in August 2010 and included in the book Women on Women, A History of Women Photographers in South Africa.

I will be updating this blog regularly so be sure to check back often and please feel free to make comments or join my RSS feed. If you have an inquiry don’t hesitate to contact me.

Oh, and I love traveling both locally and internationally so I’m definitely available for jobs outside of Durbs. I look forward to hearing from you.
