I studied fine art at Pretoria Technikon and have many thanks for the great lecturers that profoundly changed my life. Thanks to Ian, Basie, Hettie, Guy, Richard, Carl, Retief, and many more. Later I became involved in many things artistic. Painting, sculpting work at casinos. I made shoes with Brian, and in Simon’s town worked in the wax department of the Bronze Age foundry. I then worked for 20 years in the commercial and film industry as a sculptor and fabricator. Occasional getting a chance to work on my own sculpture and ceramics .

Now it’s time to work on my own dreams of making things that have meaning for individuals and brings happiness to all.
