Born in the coastal city of Durban, South Africa, my journey has always been intertwined with the sea. I found solace in the waves, whether it was navigating the challenges of big surf, collecting seashells, surfing or wading in the rock pools. My artistic talents began to bloom during my high school years, and I later honed my skills in the bustling artistic landscape of New York City, crafting custom pieces that spoke to my soul.
Life took me on a unique path as I ventured into a full-fledged career as a professional triathlete, racing 29 Ironman, World Championship events and many half Ironman across the world. Amidst this whirlwind, I also embraced the joys of parenthood, raising two beautiful kids in the picturesque setting of Point Pleasant, New Jersey.
Today, I find balance between my running shoes and a paintbrush and combine my love for the beach, the waves, and my artistic flair to create stunning, ocean-inspired pieces that reflect the beauty of the sea.
Join me for this new softer venture of art, surf, and the ever-rolling tides – where my mission is to bring my coastal roots to life through every stroke of my brush and every photo I take.
