I am a digital creative artist and designer currently based in Nieu Bethesda, South Africa. I have a talent for developing and creating unique, custom artwork and designs. I offer 5 years of experience overseeing individual projects and brand development collections, with an innovative approach to idea and concept development. My work experience has given me skills in a variety of digital media formats, including graphic design, illustration and web design. I am a great communicator, project manager, planner and team leader.
I began my career in law enforcement as a detective in the South African Police Service (SAPS). After seven years, I moved to the Police’s Information Systems Department where I was qualified as a software developer. I began with Cobal and then progressed to Oracle products, including SQL*Plus, PL/SQL, Forms and Reports and later worked with Oracle APEX. As an Oracle Developer, I have experience in Oracle Application Development, testing and support. Adept at handling multiple tasks efficiently and accurately while working under tight deadlines and under pressure. I excel in team settings, willingly sharing knowledge and ideas with my colleagues. I work well unsupervised and can change with the times easily.

Digital Fine Art
My work concentrates around the human figure as well as anthropomorphic or inanimate objects that I bring to life. My art illustrates the physical beauty and spiritual-creative energy while recognising the presence of undesirable aspects as well. I am endlessly fascinated by the beauty and meaning that I can express visually. In my expressions I realise and become the artist that I am with a voice that continues to speak to you. A dialogue, a conversation, begins. It is something sensual, a dance of sorts, and I want to open a door of possibility to be moved, and to move others. For me art is a mode for unrestrained expressions.
I am a digital fine artist using digital technology as an essential part of my creative and presentation process in the production of art. I make use of many different sources of electronic information and programs to create my unique work. These works are created in a similar fashion to non-digital paintings except that I use software programs on a computer and digitally output the resulting image as painted on any print media. My paintings are created in a stroke-by-stroke, brush-in-hand fashion; except that the canvas and painting tools are digital and I use painting techniques to create the digital painting directly on my computer.
