I was born in South Africa, as one of a twin, in a town renowned for wine making called Paarl, near Cape Town. The name, “Paarl” which means ”Pearl” in Afrikaans, my native language is very special. The parable that Jesus taught about “Pearl of great price”and His reference to “The Vineyard” has always been very significant to me.

My love for art has always been there as far back as I can remember and I believe it is my mission in life to tell my story of hope through my creations. I was trained as a Registered Nurse and you will see my love for people and creation in my paintings.

It was only once I arrived in Belgium in 2015 that I had the time and resources to follow my dream to become a full time artist. I learned about the impact of Prophetic Art from Theresa Dedmon`s Create Academy, and my career took on a whole new exciting direction. I learned how art can bring hope in hopeless situations. Much of my art pieces were born out of my own desperate circumstances and the beauty and comfort I experienced in the process of healing and restoration.
