Hi there! I am a South African expat, now happily
settled in the lovely Kent countryside in the UK.

I love everything meaningful and beautiful,
which I try to capture in different media.

My inspiration for all of this: the people that I love, 
and the love that God has for me.

Ek deel graag met jou die vreugdes van dit
wat mooi en betekenisvol is.

Sketchbook

A pencil and sketchbook in hand I’m happy – whether walking around my favourite art gallery or simply sitting down for a coffee.

Embroidery

Being creative with stitching is one of the joys in my life – from embellishing a facecloth to creating a ring cushion for my daughter’s wedding.

Series 13

Cooking

Elsa Schiaparelli once said: A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness.

When everything goes wrong

I was reminded of the priests standing in the middle of the Jordan with the ark of the covenant when I read in Psalm 114 how the sea flees and the river Jordan turns back, the earth trembles at the presence of the Lord, the rock turns into a pool of water...
