Jeffreys Bay, South Africa.
Where the unseen becomes understood.
I am an artist, creative entrepreneur and mystic exploring the spaces where imagination, intuition and the tangible world meet.
My work moves between contemporary art, creative business, dreams, symbolism and the unseen – different expressions of the same lifelong curiosity: how we see, what we create, and what lies beneath the obvious.
I have never been any good at staying in one box.
Art was my first language.
Business taught me how to turn ideas into something tangible.
Mysticism taught me to pay attention to what cannot always be explained.
Over the years, I’ve built businesses, worked with photography and film, created brands and experiences, worked in tourism and destination marketing, founded creative projects and developed my own contemporary art practice.
These may look like separate paths.
To me, they’re connected by the same instinct:
to notice.
Light. People. Patterns. Possibility. Symbols. Stories. The things that sit just beneath the surface.
Art
Making the invisible visible.
My contemporary art practice explores nature, femininity, dreams, psychology, mythology, symbolism and the spaces between the conscious and subconscious.
Working across mixed media, photography, digital processes, cyanotype, drawing and other materials, I am interested in the way images can hold memory, emotion and meaning
Mystic
Dreams. Symbols. Intuition. The unseen.
Some things cannot be reduced to a spreadsheet.
My interest in mysticism has always existed alongside my creative practice – through dreams, symbolism, psychology, nature, animals and the intuitive ways we sometimes know things before we understand them.
This is a space for exploring those things with curiosity, groundedness and an open mind.
The Journal
Thoughts from the intersection.
A collection of writing about art, creativity, entrepreneurship, dreams, intuition, symbolism, nature and the strange, beautiful business of being human.
