About Us
Born in Namibia in 1946, I could not escape the stimulus of mostly raw nature on my doorstep and six years in Johannesburg with the national airline in a technical position did nothing to diminish this passion, resulting in a transfer back to Windhoek, Namibia as a Line Station Supervisor at the first opportunity. Apart from some evening classes, I studied whatever examples of the masters I could find and Sargent, Russell Flint, Ken Howard, Richard Schmid with local masters such as Pierneef, Wenning, Gwelo Goodman, Nico Roos, Johannes Blatt and Adolph Jentsch providing the inspiration and technical examples. The defining moment was when all these influences were distilled into a personal style, influenced mainly by one's own reaction to a personal experience or as Kandinsky remarked: “ the only law for the artist must be his own inner necessity – to make visible the inner core of his own being.” | ||
