I was born in South Africa, but chose to leave in 1988, emigrating first to Toronto, Canada, and then to San Francisco. The process of adapting to new environments has had a profound effect on both my life and creative spirit.
This is a mixed media painting on paper from my "Journeys" series, which combine acrylic, original photography and sometimes prose. The end result is a painting that is like an onion - if peeled back, it would reveal many layers. The piece is matted and framed at 20 x 16 inches.
