I am an artist and I live in a small village in the Amathole Mountains of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. My home is set on the verge of the indigenous forest in a dramatically beautiful landscape. It was exactly the right place to build an outdoor art installation, where ecology, art and a sense of the sanctity of Earth could all come together. And so I created the Eco-Shrine Centre for Art and Ecology in 1995. It’s been open ever since. |
 Welcome to the Eco-Shrine (Click to enlarge) Visitors are immediately struck by the breathtaking landscape and in it, the sight of large oil paintings displayed in sculpted niches joined by a seemingly flowing, low wall of cement relief. The Eco-shrine looks as if it has always been there. |

My adjacent studio is open to the public. It has a high thatched ceiling and a feel of long ago. There are always new paintings on the easels and walls and I also sell good quality prints of my works in poster and card format. |
