Big 5 Order – 2025
I received my largest order to date from a client who wanted the full Big 5. At the time, my three available pieces coincidentally represented three members of the Big 5, which the client immediately purchased. I then completed the remaining two pieces to complete the collection.
A special thank you to this client for their incredible support and belief in my work.
Biggest artwork to date - 2024
In 2024, my first and most loyal client commissioned the largest piece I have ever created. Choosing not one, but two elephants – a mother and her calf. This Smoke Art commission was a true challenge, as elephants are among the most complex subjects to capture in this medium. I am incredibly proud of the final artwork and extend my heartfelt thanks to my client from Ohio for their continued support and belief in my art.
DSWF Artist of the Year 2024 Finalist
I was honoured to be a finalist in the 2024 competition with my Smoke Art piece of a Cape Vulture, created in collaboration with VulPro. The artwork was exhibited in London and later sold to a client in America, helping to share its conservation message globally. This piece reflects my love for wildlife and my hope to inspire awareness and action. Thank you to everyone who supported this journey and the causes I care about.
Help Save our Cape Vulture.
A heartfelt thank you to VulPro for allowing me to capture one of your magnificent Cape Vultures as the focus of my Smoke Art piece for the DSWF Artist of the Year competition. Vultures play a vital role in our ecosystem, yet they face severe threats to their survival. I’m honoured to use my art to help raise awareness for their protection. If you’d like to support this incredible cause, please visit the VulPro website.
Joins Môi Gallery at Solostudios Art Festival
In 2024, I had the privilege of exhibiting under Môi Gallery at the Riebeek Kasteel Solostudios Art Festival, one of the region’s most celebrated art events. This opportunity allowed my work to reach a wider audience, and I’m especially grateful that my favourite artwork found its new home in less than 24 hours. A heartfelt thank you to Môi Gallery for supporting me and providing a platform for my art to shine.
