Salt and Stone - Salon 104 Exhibition
Please join me for Salt and Stone, our second Salon 104 exhibition of the year. We are exhibiting at WORLDART Gallery, in the heart of Cape Town, from 27-30 August.
The exhibition's artworks reflect our restless search for belonging in an unsettled world. With our backs to the mountain and our hearts to the sea, we hanker for mooring - for a place where we are homed. Against a backdrop of uncertainty, the work turns to the elemental and enduring: stone beneath our feet, sky above, and the traces of those who have walked before us. In the spaces between pavers, between breaths, we are reminded of our connection to place, one another, and the earth. Before language, we love. Stone below. Sky above.
We have events each day - I hope to see you there!

Commissions
I love being outdoors and capturing the beauty I see around me. One thing that makes this even better is capturing the beauty of a place that has significant meaning to the person I am creating it for.
I would love to create a painting of a view that has special meaning for you. From start to finish, I look forward to working with you to define what you are looking for, and then to creating an artwork that captures the feeling of the place that you love.
All the details about my process can be found here.
Please contact me to talk about the view that you love and creating your painting.
