The Storyteller collection personified a style of paintings that I created between 2008 and 2021, and I am thrilled to announce her return. From this year 2025, I aim to blend my two artistic worlds, showcasing the essence of my journey as both an artist and a migrant, the child and the adult. These four paintings capture key moments in my life and have been treasured in my personal collection since their creation. Releasing them (the past) is crucial to embracing new beginnings. After a few years absence, I am ready to reintroduce The Storyteller into my artistic universe as she is deeply embedded in my identity. It is time to connect these life chapters, weaving them together to form a cohesive narrative that honours my roots in South Africa with my life in the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand.
