I am a self-taught, fine art photographer based in Cape Town. My work is primarily a form of social commentary. I am best known for a series of expressionist, hand-painted photographs depicting marginalized lifestyles in South Africa, which were exhibited at galleries in Germany, the Netherlands and at the ‘Photo LA 2004’ in Los Angeles, USA.
More recently my work has been exhibited by several galleries in South Africa including the Irma Stern Museum the Bell-Roberts Gallery, Focus Contemporary and Kim Sacks Gallery.
I have recently won an award at the Spier Contemporary 2010 for a self-initiated photographic series documenting informal recyclers in Newtown, Johannesburg.
