Sundays Acrylic paint on hand prepared lace 127 x 122cm 2025 I’ve lost count of how many times my heart exploded during Cape Town art week 🫣💓 and I can’t express how affirmed I am as a South African painter during this particular era of contemporary African Art. Thank you to everyone that came to the @tilgaartfund pop up exhibition curated by @mpumi.mayisa and supported by @wole_bak at @southernguildgallery as part of the @investeccapetownartfair VIP program 💓

My friends and I talk about secretly buying a beach house together that our husbands won’t know about all the time, and you know how I keep saying painting is a medium for manifestation - that’s what happening here 🤭💕 She was exhibited at my solo exhibition titled For her dreams won’t just be dreams for much longer in Lagos in March this year The first beach house 110 x 110 cm Acrylic paint on hand prepared lace #contemporaryart #painting #africanart

Thought I’d show you some progress images of paintings I started a short while ago, now I know I’ve mentioned this before but painting is really my medium for manifestation, and I’ve been dancing around the idea for a while but garden picnics with champagne and chit chats with the Italian mountainside behind me is a genuine summary of the script my life has been following this past weekend after I started these. It’s a magic trick. I think the universe watches me paint. I’m gonna show you how things look before they’re complete more often 💕

I remember making a short series of sculptures at the Wits School of Arts in 2023 as a study of the materiality of lace as metaphor. Revisiting this side of my practice again sometime soon because seeing them outside of my studio was so re-energising. When women touch hard lines and corners 01 2023 Lace stretched on wood sculpture
