FROM “DIE DUIF “ ART CENTRE
VEREENIGING
My favourite quote is from Pablo Picasso
“ I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it”
I am trying and learning every day of my life. My love for art started with my mother who was a natural atists that painted beautifully without any official training, she loved the SA old masters studied the works of Boshoff, Volschenk, Boonzaaier and Pierneef. These artists have also had an influence on my approach and style.
I am currently teaching art at Die Duif Art Centre, Vereeniging which I started 3 years ago and I thoroughly enjoy the students and classes.
My favourite medium is oils and I always prefer to paint a landscape of a Free State scene with a few trees from that area.
