Insider SA featured both my interior work and my botanical art – delicate studies of indigenous flowers rendered with the precision and attention to detail that botanical art demands.

Every commissioned piece starts with listening. When we first met, my client shared their ideas, their space, and most importantly, their connection to these magnificent flowers. We pored over their reference pictures together. This initial conversation is crucial. It's where I learn not just what the client wants to see, but what they want to feel when they look at the finished piece

We discussed my journey as a botanical artist - how I'm a South African born, internationally trained fine artist who studied at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerpen, then art history in Munich and Frankfurt, before specialising in botanical art with the Society of Botanical Artists in the UK.
