Welcome to this sanctuary where, together, we can find a moment of quiet and calm, a chance to breathe deeply.
I encourage you to dream as you wander through these pages; of places, memories, spaces.

About

I am a Professional Architect and Fine Artist based in the coastal town of Southbroom, KZN in South Africa. After (too) many gruelling years studying and six more working in the traditional architectural industry, in a massive leap of faith, I left behind a linear career trajectory to pursue freedom, peace, adventure and deeper meaning. Observing Creation’s beauty, through painting, drawing and the design of space is where the joy and meaning lies, for myself and, I believe, us all.

Focus & Clarity

I understand the feeling of life passing you by, one day after the next. Frustration sets in as distraction disconnects you from yourself and others, pulling you in every direction while all you seek is focus and clarity.

My Greatest vision

My greatest vision, and the glue that holds my artistic and architectural pursuits together, is to genuinely reconnect my collectors and clients to the world around them. I mean in a visceral, grounding, humbling way. Whether that be to a power greater than themselves, to their natural surroundings or to a deeper sense of purpose, ART and SPACE is simply a portal into a life founded in intention and meaning. At the end of the day, isn’t that life’s greatest pursuit, what we’re all after?
