Relight Art Africa
When I started to put my art out into the world I went under the pseudonym Pisces Painter. I was inspired by my two little buddies in my studio. They used to keep me company and provide me with inspiration. They were my two male Bettas also known as Siamese Fighters. They are such beautiful fish it is impossible not to be mesmerized by their grace. However Bettas only live so long I still have a male betta in my studio but my inspiration has grown beyond that now. I have had a spiritual awakening and found that new age philosophy no longer aligns with my beliefs and who I…

My family enjoy going for a drive over Chapman’s Peak…

Dr T.J. Eckleburg
I created this piece for my birthday. It was the big 30. The theme of the party was the end of the “Roaring Twenties” with a huge Great Gatsby influence. There was a cocktail menu inspired by the cocktails of the 1920’s such as the Bee’s Knees, Gin Rickey, Mary Pickford and the Southside. Dress code was the roaring twenties and there was a photo booth with props for the occasion. This party was hosted in my garden and I even managed to create my own outside drapes to cover the garden. The only problem was that there was only so much space available, I had nowhere to hide the…
