BIO /
I was born in the Eastern Cape and completed a Diploma in Fine Art at Port Elizabeth Technicon in 1996. I moved to Cape Town to begin my career in the film industry in 2002 and, to date, have more than forty feature films and television series to my credit.
I am the co-owner of Prop Art Rentals in Cape Town, which boasts the largest collection of cleared original art for rental in South Africa. The collection includes works of both local artists, including my own work, and that of an array of international artists.
My career experience includes every visual aspect of feature and commercial productions. I am dedicated to my artistic vision and committed to aesthetic appeal and authenticity in all that I create.
