SLOW DOWN & BREATHE

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Welcome! These minimalistic artworks are thoughtfully designed for those seeking tranquillity and balance in their environments. With a solid foundation in interior architecture, my understanding of how art can transform any space informs each piece I create. Combining design expertise with a passion for handcrafted artistry, these works elevate modern interiors, infusing them with a sense of calm and presence.

Inspired by celestial themes, nature, and architectural fine line drawings, my artworks feature soft shades and rich textures that beautifully reflect the ever-changing light in your surroundings, offering fresh perspectives throughout the day. The captivating patterns found in nature, known as fractals, significantly influence my designs, highlighting shapes scientifically proven to reduce stress and promote well-being.

At the core of each piece are circles—the most fundamental geometric form—symbolising wholeness, unity, and balance. These elements embody inclusiveness, feminine energy, and the cycles of life. Each curve invites reflection, encouraging a deeper consideration of your unique purpose and mission.

Art serves as a grounding force, and my goal is to provide you with pieces that not only complement but also elevate your space. Each artwork tells a story of inspiration and tranquility, inviting you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself amidst the busyness of life.

Collaboration is essential to my creative process. Whether partnering with interior designers to realise unique visions or engaging with art collectors curating their collections, I am dedicated to understanding your distinct styles and aspirations. Together, we can discover the perfect piece that resonates with your intentions and beautifully enhances your space.

My Journey

ARTIST BIO:

It brings me joy to share my journey as an artist in sunny Brisbane. My experiences have shaped the minimalistic art I create, which is designed to foster calm and connection within your spaces.

Originally from South Africa, I earned my Master’s Degree in Interior Architecture at the University of Pretoria. For years, I dedicated myself to designing environments for others, yet I felt a growing desire for simplicity and peace that guided me toward a new path. This desire led me to transition from architecture to art, where I discovered a vibrant world of creativity through hands-on work with wood and paint, embracing a love for organic minimalism.

My journey has not been without its challenges. Relocating to Australia with my family and receiving an adult ADHD diagnosis have profoundly influenced both my life and my artistic practice. These experiences have underscored the importance of finding tranquillity amid life’s chaos. I believe art should go beyond just looking good.; it should cultivate spaces where you can pause, breathe deeply, and feel grounded. Every piece I craft invites you to discover a moment of serenity in your busy day.

I’ve been fortunate to showcase my work at events like Denfair, The Other Art Fair Melbourne, and Art Lovers Australia Exhibitions. Connecting with those who appreciate a sense of calm has been incredibly rewarding, demonstrating the powerful role art can play in fostering community and shared experiences.

A significant aspect of my story is my connection to cleft lips, which I share with my daughter. This connection inspires me to donate a portion of my sales to Operation Smile Australia, supporting surgeries for children born with cleft lips. When you choose my art, you’re not just adding beauty to your space—you’re also contributing to a cause that brings hope and happiness to other families.

My mission is to help you create a home that feels serene and intentional, a sanctuary where you can reconnect with yourself and those you love. Together, we can transform your spaces into tranquil havens that inspire calmness and connection. I look forward to sharing this journey with you and creating art that resonates on a deeper, more memorable level.

With Love,

  • Every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate, annually that is an estimated 175,200 children world-wide.

    Only 7% of children living with unrepaired cleft conditions survive to reach the age of 20.

    In just 45 minutes, a life-changing surgery can transform the lives of children and adults living with cleft conditions. Yet in many parts of the world, surgery to correct these conditions is out of reach.

    Operation Smile Australia believes that everyone with cleft and craniofacial conditions deserves safe, exceptional surgical care.

Transform a child's life today

If you feel called to help, Operation Smile Australia sends medical volunteers from Australia and NZ to low-income countries to provide free surgeries for children born with cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities.

Just $250 can fund a surgery and change a child’s life forever!

They rely entirely on the generosity of individuals and organisations, receiving no Government funding. As a registered charity with DGR status, all donations are tax deductible.

Thank you for considering supporting this incredible cause!
