Based in Cape Town South Africa, I'm the epitome of an accidental botanist. Creating has always been in my blood, I do not have one childhood memory that doesn't involve making, cutting, drawing or pasting something.
My love for creating took a giant leap in 2018, when I stumbled into the wonderful world of paper flowers and it has been a whirlwind romance ever since. I've learnt so much about myself and what is possible through this process, finding my own aesthetic and approach to botanicals.
The most rewarding part has been the incredible people that this journey has led me to, people all over the globe who share a common passion. I love that my art reaches beyond my country's borders and unites me with a global community who are doing amazing things and in so many ways, re-defining what art is
