I have just returned to Cape Town after 5 years in London. I went there to do my Masters in Art Therapy, as the course was not yet available to study in South Africa. I worked as an Art Therapist with children and part time as an artist. I currently work with a child with ASD, and have a studio space in Central Cape Town.
This website is focused on the art side of my practice, as I continue the process of establishing myself.
