“My art is very mixed and tends to be based around other cultures rather than my own. For example, the fact that I was born in South Africa but have lived in NZ for the past 12 years has allowed me to build up an interest in a range of other cultures because of how diverse New Zealand is. It is because of this that I want my art to show influences from other country’s and relate to people around the world from all walks of life and cultures.”
“My interest in music and pop culture also plays a big role in the art work I create, for example many of my pieces depict famous rappers crossed over with well-known pop culture characters.”
