I was born and raised in South Africa. I grew up on a plot in a nature reserve just south of the border between North West and Gauteng. All my life I was surrounded by the African bush veld and I grew a deep connection with the wild. My mother's obsession with wildlife increasingly nurtured my creative view of the world around me. Being privy to the small intricacies of nature expanded into my art. It became my obsession. 

In 2021, I decided to study photography at the Open Window institute in Centurion. It was difficult leaving the farm for the city of Pretoria but during this time, I learnt the most about myself. I struggled to adapt to this new way of living. Being truly alone for the first time. My mental health took a beating because I didn't know who I was outside of the life I knew. In 2023, I started a project to find my purpose called The Art of being Lost. I explored South Africa as much as I could afford. I travelled solo through the Western Cape, Northern Cape, North West as well as the Free State. Botswana became a main source of my inspiration on a family holiday and turned into the setting for most of my personal work.
