‘With the Fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard’ African Proverb I

This work was one of the first paintings produced in the series and in this work, I wanted to depict a reminder of our stewardship of the earth – using what we need and not wasting, and the counsel received from the prophet to plant a garden. In the background are some indigenous plants found in South Africa.

‘Strength & honour are her clothing’ African Proverb III

In this painting I wanted to convey a sense of peace & tranquility – the Saviour tells us that He will bless us with peace – not as the world giveth, (John 14:27) and this is what I wanted to convey in the painting. Although there is a great deal of detail and pattern in the painting, the model conveys that sense of peace amidst the busy background.

The Iron Rod(African Proverb IV)

Inspired by the story of Lehi’s dream about the iron rod, I wanted the background to show a confusion of branches and leaves – some leaves smaller and more tightly compact representing the times in our lives when we endure temptation & distraction from holding to the rod. The model looks directly ahead to the goal to maintain focus on the iron rod and not be distracted.

‘Her candle goeth not out by night’ (African Proverb V)

This painting was produced as part of a series inspired by Proverbs 31:10-19. I wanted to depict the women of South Africa who really make the most of what they have which is very little at the best of times. These women work incredibly hard – working late into the night and often getting up really early in the morning to go to work – travelling far distances to get there.

New Painting

Charcoal Drawing of Emma


I love doing live figure drawings, the trouble is my models aren't very experienced and they don't want to sit for longer than 15 minutes at a time! So, just as I started working on shadows, my model decided to get up and walk around...
