Hoedspruit, Limpopo - South Africa

My interest is developing an inner language in visual, music, in time space and consciousness. I seek to unreval the hidden and essence of things so the viewer perceives 'the seen' in a new light.

Self taught artist with main interest in visual music art both in natural media and multimedia.
Preferred music � Jazz, Blues, Rock and Roll, Mediterranean, Latin and African music.

Currently working with combining drawings on paper, animation and video art.

Most of my art works begin with scribbles and sketches that develop into shapes and forms.
Images or abstarct drawings always worked with music/Natural sound.

Involved mostly in the practical approach of Fine Arts dance and crafts since 1965.
