About Me

Born 1985, Pretoria, South Africa. Lives on the Southern Peninsula of Cape Town. 

I’m a photographic artist, children’s book author, and postpartum doula.  My work is rooted in a love of visual storytelling, the quiet power of emotional truth and creative persistence.

I’ve worked across film, photographic, and theatre industries, guided by a lifelong love of the visual arts and a curiosity about what gives images emotional truth and meaning. I’ve always been drawn to the places where image and story meet, where art becomes a way to see, to feel, and to make sense of both the world and myself.

My creative practice is inseparable from my experience of motherhood. It has evolved alongside my daughter’s growing up: her presence shaping my rhythm, perspective, and patience. This blending of life and art feels honest to me: creation mirrored in cycles of care, attention, and daily rituals that define our shared life.Much of what I make begins at the dining room table where our everyday lives unfold: drawings beside homework, ink stains between meals. This space of making feels both domestic and sacred: a reminder that creativity and caregiving need not exist apart.

Through both photography and drawing, I explore the quiet intersections of personal and collective experience. My work is a dialogue between inner and outer worlds: between memory and imagination, control and release, fear and faith in the process.

I’ve co-written and produced two children’s books with the Florence & Watson family, and I continue to explore new ways of storytelling, through both image and word. 

Florence & Watson is a South African creative storytelling collective founded by Danielle Bischoff, Lauren Fowler, Rob van Vuuren, and Siv Ngesi, producing children’s books and theatre that nurture literacy, environmental awareness, and imagination. Their trilingual book series and award-nominated stage productions, Florence & Watson and the Sugarbush Mouse, The Great Pangolin Mystery, and uFlorence no Watson ne Mpuku, blend art, performance, and education. Through their outreach arm, #ThePetalProject, they partner with schools, NGOs, and foundations to donate books, perform for children in disadvantaged communities, and raise funds for conservation and literacy initiatives across South Africa and abroad.

Themes of youth, adolescence, and motherhood run through both my photography and my artwork. They are the threads I keep returning to. These stories often overlap, shaped by my own experiences and a desire to question how we define family, love, and belonging.
