# About me
I was bought up in Africa for the first 11 years of my life and have traveled extensively throughout. My travel experiences have influenced my artwork immensely, I am always picking up tips along the way of how to incorporate it into my art.I have always painted from day dot, but it's only the last few years that I have tried to make a career out of it. I have been naturally lead into the world of illustrating children's books and thoroughly enjoying it. I have worked on a few books now and have come to realize that this is my calling. Being a big kid at heart does have its advantages. My aim with most of my work is to put a smile on peoples faces, and give my pieces, whether it is an illustration or a large painting, a happy vibe.
My artwork is colourful, decorative and whimsical. I have a great love for colours, patterns and shapes and enjoy exploring different ways in using this into my work. I enjoy experimenting with different mediums and styles to see where it will take me and I don't believe in sticking to just one style. I am extremely versatile and you could be forgiven by thinking some of my work is done by a different artist altogether. One minute its cute illustrations, the next minute its impressionistic landscapes or darker art.

Hey ..........whats up with the new AVITAR?
Didnt know who it was to begin with..........then my spydy senses sprung into action.
Premium is nice cause it supports the site builders.It livens up your site and spreads your art quicker 2 other POSSIBLE customers.
There is so much to make a site super fancy and my leaky brain dunt know how to do most off em
