I have always been creative and was encouraged by my high school to attend the Northern Cape College of ART outside of school hours. Here I had the opportunity to undertake a course which was much like a foundation course, allowing me to explore ceramics, painting, printing, graphic art and art history.
Since coming to the UK I have had two solo exhibitions (2000 and 2003) at St Georges Hospital Tooting Broadway as part of the National Network for the Arts in Health http://www.nnah.org.uk/. I also took part in the Living London exhibition held at the London School of Fashion in central London in 2004. In addition to this I prepared a series of paintings for an exhibition put on by All Saints, Peckham, at Easter time 2005 called 'CROSS' http://www.allsaintspeckham.org.uk/. These pieces are still available for viewing at the church. In 2003 I commenced a part time foundation course at Chelsea College of Art - University of the Arts London, and after just one year was accepted at Wimbledon College of Art (now part of the University of the Arts London). I was able to complete half of my degree before the arrival of my sons.
