Whispers of Fynbos "
Work in progress.
Applying imitation gold leaf sheets to canvas, creating a rich, luminous background. Once the leaf is in place, sections are selectively removed by light dusting allowing the flowers to emerge from the gold. The remaining spaces will gradually be filled with delicate fynbos and sunbirds. Each stage adds another layer of depth and movement.

"Whispers of Fynbos"
Slowly bringing this fynbos and sunbird piece to life 🌸
Layer by layer the proteas are gaining depth, softness and detail, while the colours are starting to glow beautifully together. Still plenty to do, but I’m loving how the composition and movement are developing so far.

Title: When the Owl Calls my Name.
Size: 152cm x 92cm
Medium: This is a 3D painting on boxed canvas using acrylics, gold leaf and finishing plaster.
I have depicted this Brown Hyena
in the Deadvlei of Nambia.
Deadvlei, or "dead marsh," is a breathtaking, white clay pan surrounded by, at times, the highest red sand dunes in the world (300-400m), located inside Namib-Naukluft National Park in Namibia. Famous for its 600-900 year-old, scorched, non-decomposed camel thorn tree skeletons, it offers a surreal photogenic landscape.

When the Owl Calls My Name:
This title draws from an African proverb that says when an owl calls your name, death is near.
In this artwork, the brown hyena walks with its head low, a posture of cautious vigilance that reflects the fragile existence of this often-overlooked species.
Every careful step embodies resilience in the face of real threats: habitat loss, human conflict, and population decline.
The proverb serves as a quiet warning — not of superstition, but of the urgency to protect and conserve.
Proceeds from this work support brown hyena research and conservation, turning awareness into action.
