Her love for art started at an early age and she attended an art school in Holland, majoring in art for matric. She commenced her tertiary art studies at Pretoria University and completed them at Pretoria Technikon, completeting her Fine Arts Diploma in 1974.

She also started a Mural painting company and did backdrops for drama's and plays in Richardsbay. In 1990 she opened an Art and Music Studio where she taught Fine Arts and Guitar. The Studio's success necessitated the addition of three other artists.
In 2000 she moved to Pretoria and with the help of a sponsor, started The Art Studio which has gone from strength to strength. She is passionate about teaching people to reach their creative potential. In doing so, she has had the privilege of putting some very talented people in touch with their capabilities, ones they were never aware of.
Her work embodies the joy that she feels in life, often drawing on aspects of her own emotions and experiences, whilst painting everyday objects. She paints with her heart and soul. She explores the deep creativity and power of the feminine soul, drawing on her own emotions and experiences, as well as of those around her, and tries to show some of the inner passions and beliefs that women have.
