Description: The time your children must leave the home and find their own way starts with the moment they get their driver's licence, I am experiencing the beginning of the empty nest syndrome and want to represent it as an unsettling experience but still the positive aspects of how important it is that they do ":fly":

Title: Chasing Pavements

Description: I am interested in the hawkers/informal vendors that we see everyday in our streets

Title: South African bird and plant series

Description: I love to see birds in their natural environment and thought I would depict them with some

Title: Spaza shop

Description: I love working with the texture and painting and dying fabric allow me to extress the right tone. The rough feel of "Spaza shop" helps me describe the feeling that these little shops have that are scattered at many a corner shop.

Title: Karoo Donkey Cart

Description: I love capturing the images of South African's doing a days work that is different from my own experience, This is a common sight in the Karoo

Description: This is a series of work that I created from photos I took on one street, each with a different sign post in the background. I love the vibrancy and the colour of these African hawkers.It made me think of how hard these informal vendors must work no matter what the obstacles are to make an income for themselves and their families,
