I was commissioned to do a painting for the local provincial Orchid society, a charity auction, the proceeds to go to the restoration of the local orchid population in the Cape. We have one of the largest flower kingdoms in the world in the Cape in South Africa. I painted a painting for this but enjoyed doing so very much and simply continued painting orchids and nature for weeks. This is one from that stint of painting. The orchid portrayed is known as a Disa and is synonymous with this area. I included the figure of Pan, hiding in the foliage, almost disguised. I enjoyed painting this very much.

South Africa
I am a South African artist living and working in Cape Town. I was born and raised in Johannesburg, I attended a high school that specialised in the arts, after which I attended WITS university, doing a BA Fine Arts Degree and a postgraduate Higher Diploma in Education. Five years after my tertiary education I was fortunate enough to be selected to participate in the 2 year program at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam where I was advised by an international array of advisors for example Luc Teymans, Matt Mullican, Lisa Milroy and Dan Graham amongst others. I have exhibited locally and internationally alongside luminaries like Louise Bourgeois, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Berlinde de Bruyckere and others. I have been painting and drawing ever since I can remember. My subjects vary, I have a fascination with the transient and the poetic potential of any subject I portray. This in combination with the title becomes the field within which I allow myself the freedom to make something that communicates on some personal or emotional level with the viewer and the world around me. Often my subjects are connected to memory, both personal and collective memory.
