I primarily work with printmaking and often combine this medium with drawing, illustration, and digital design. I’m interested in how variation, layering, and repetition allow familiar forms to shift and evolve, inviting viewers to find new meaning within traditional craft.

I’m inspired by contrasts between tradition and reinterpretation, structure and play, expectation and reality. Through slow, thoughtful processes like repetition, layering, and detailed mark-making, I reflect on the value of time, the evolving nature of identity, and the fragile, joyful, and sometimes imperfect ways we communicate and connect.

My current series is deeply personal, inspired by my experiences of care, presence, and belonging. As a South African Afrikaans female, I reflect on the layered expectations of tradition. Particularly the role of motherhood. While it never became my reality, I express that nurturing instinct and the quiet joy of companionship through my dog, as well as the beloved dogs who came before. This doesn’t stand in opposition to traditional motherhood, but rather acknowledges that nurturing can take many forms. In my work, I use ordinary things like dog toys as symbols to express care, connection, and belonging.
