LANDSCAPES and SCENES Here are a few of the various scenes and landscapes that I've designed and completed.

This big commission has over 50 animals in it, and has the northern Drakensberg (South Africa) as the backdrop. Loved designing and creating this one... and working at this lovely big scale.

Title: “Oribis and Aloes” Size: 800x1200 cm Price: COMMISSION (South Africa) Inspiration: Combining photos and ideas from the client's lovely home to create a scene with a family of oribi in the grasslands with the bright orange-red aloes, and beautiful Midmar dam as the backdrop. Title: “Early Morning Forest Walk” Size: 40 x 50 cm Price: COMMISSION (South Africa) Inspiration: In this commission I tried to capture the early morning light that filters through the trees in our local forest and catches the moisture, creating the most magical mist and shafts of light. Whenever I walk in these forests I always think of the famous quote by John Muir, "And into the woods I go, to lose my mind and find my soul". Title: “Blue Horizon Bay” Size: 50 x 80 cm Price: COMMISSION (South Africa) Inspiration: I so loved designing and creating this scene from the client’s photos of the striking strandveld in the Cape... incorporating the unique fynbos vegetation... and a few bright sunbirds and a woodland kingfisher... all overlooking the beautiful bright blue Indian Ocean. So lucky to live with this incredible view! Title: “Northern Lights” Size: 60 x 120 cm Price: COMMISSION (South Africa) Inspiration: This commission of the northern lights (aurora borealis) threw me far out of my comfort zone! I really wanted to try capture the wispy and almost ethereal feel of this spectacular light display... To try do this I melted layers of glass and glazes to create the sky, as well as the reflections in the water. The snow-capped mountains are mosaic. Title: “Tickling the Giant” Size: 45 x 120 cm Price: SOLD (South Africa) Inspiration: A typical autumn scene – wild fields of the beautiful flowers in the central Drakensberg. Each and every flower, bud and stem is individually handmade in glass. The background mountain range is Giant’s Castle. Title: “Breakfast in the Berg” Size: 65 x 185 cm Price: SOLD (South Africa) Inspiration: A pair of Malachite Sunbirds feeding on the local and endemic Protea caffra in the northern Drakensberg. The background peaks of the Drakensberg show the peaks of the incredible and dramatic Amphitheatre. Title: “Panaromic Red Poker Feast” Size: 85 x 115 cm Price: SOLD (South Africa) Inspiration: A typical winter scene in the central Drakensberg – five Southern Double-collared Sunbirds feeding on the bright orange red pokers. Background peaks of the Drakensberg include (from left to right) the Inner Horn, Outer Horn, The Bell and Cathedral Peak.
