I started painting in 1988 when I was in high school. My art teacher was Louise Goudemond, an American artist. I was with her till 1996. 

I always painted even when I did my degree BSc Chemistry, Biochemistry. This helped me to cope with my clinical depression and eating disorder. In 2003 I started painting professionally and exhibited with Alice Art Gallery. 

I have also exhibited in other galleries in South Africa in Clarens, Cape Town, Swellendam, Hartbeespoort Dam and Dullstroom. I have opened my own art gallery in Lichtenburg, a farming town, in South Africa in 2012.

Internationally I have exhibited at the Agora Gallery, New York; Art Fusion Gallery in Miami, at the Castello Estense in Ferrara in Italy, NY at the International Expo in 2010 and the United Nations as part of International Women’s Day. I was selected in 2014 by Monteoliveto Gallery as part of the search for new talents. I was picked as one of 3 artists, who was represented in  Monaco and internationally, by Monteoliveto Gallery Nice-Naples and in Amsterdam.

In 2018 I was awarded an artist residency at Tamarin Art Centre in Mauritius. I went there for one month and expanded my artistic horizons and is now included as one of the exhibiting artists at the Tamarin Art Gallery curated by Leanda Brass, well-known UK sculptor.
In 2019 I had my first solo exhibition at the NWU under curatorship of Amohelang Mohajane, called This lOve.
In 2020 I was selected by Bickertongrace Gallery in London to be part of their “Sentiment” exhibition. This exhibition was curated by Anne-Marie Bickerton.
I started my own art school in Potchefstroom in 2019, where I give art classes everyday.
I also give workshops in palette knife work in oils over weekends. We had a successful studio exhibition in 2024 at “LoopStraat” in Potchefstroom. 
I paint everyday…my reason for everything
