please contact me if you are interested

​

I work with artists as a creative catalyst - together we:

• ​explore the artist's creative journey
• focus on the artist's ideas
• look at the artist's source material for imagery
• suggest areas of research for the artist
• consider the artist's technical artmaking skills and offer practical advice
• encourage the artist to find ways to integrate their ideas and their tangible artworks to create a resolved body of work 
• investigate creative pathways moving forwards.

my experience

Between 2008 and 2012 I was a part-time lecturer in the Visual Arts Department at the University of South Africa (Unisa).

My responsibilities included

​

• supervising and assessing the BVA senior students
• encouraging their research skills and critical thinking
• coaching them in terms of integrating their ideas and their making processes.

Here I became passionate about the ‘why’ behind an artist’s making and thinking processes.

In 2013 I established outoftheCUBE - an online exhibiting platform showcasing the work of South African mid-career artists that interested me. This was one of the first of its kind in South Africa. During its 5-year existence, outoftheCUBE participated in 6 art fairs and held 3 exhibitions to promote its featured artists.

Via outoftheCUBE I would 

​

• approach an artist to set up an 'outofthecube' relationship to explore their creative processes
• hold an interview with them 
• document their work
• research and write their creative story for the website
• curate online and 'real life' exhibitions to include their artworks.
