Fine Art Curator



I have worked as an art consultant in the South African art world since 1993 - my specialist field of interest lies in our country's contemporary original prints.



Original fine art print consulting

From 1993 I began to promote and market prints produced at The Caversham Press (established in 1986).

This enriching experience kick-started my ongoing love for the exceptionally expressive properties inherent through the medium of printmaking.

From the early 2000s, I also began to market works for The Artists' Press and Tim Foulds (Tim's Print Studio).

Recent curating experience

2021

Between 2018 and 2024, I was a member of The Printing Girls (TPG) - a professional network of South African female printmakers. Ongoing, TPG organises and curates themed exhibitions of original prints by its members. 

In 2021 I was a member of the TPG admin team, co-curating the following exhibitions and creating the accompanying exhibition catalogues:

October TPG@ SA Print Gallery at The South African Print Gallery, Cape Town

August Mother Nature in Monotype at White River Gallery, Mpumalanga

August #TPG21 at The Art Room, Johannesburg

March New Girls on the Block at the Pretoria Arts Association

I also organised three TPG print exchanges and created their accompanying catalogues:

February #TPG First Print Exchange

July Eco-longing

August The Daphne Project

2020

I curated the auction ASPIRE X Caversham: 30 Years in 90 Lots consisting of 90 original art prints from The Caversham Press (KZN) at Aspire Art Auctions (Johannesburg)

2015

I was invited to organise and curate an exhibition of around 100 South African prints for the Swiss-based Grenchen Print Triennial as their 2015 International Exhibition. The prints were selected from five professional printmaking studios and two independent printmaker/artists, creating the exhibition South African Art Prints. On its return from Switzerland, it was exhibited at Warren Studios in Cape Town under the title There and Back/South African Art Prints.

2013 - 2018 outoftheCUBE

I co-founded the virtual art platform outoftheCUBE in 2013 with Kevin Sneider.

The project ran for five years and introduced online solo exhibitions by artists whose work interested us. These exhibitions were grouped thematically via a curator's statement.

Throughout its duration, outoftheCUBE participated in five art fairs as a gallery and curated three 'real-life' exhibitions, all featuring its artists. On closing, the site contained almost 90 full online exhibitions.
