'LITTERATI' at the CLAY MUSEUM

These are some of the portraits I painted on plates as part of an exhibition running concurrently with the National Portrait Exhibition at Rust-en-Vrede, Durbanville Cultural Centre. My inspiration is faces of writers, mainly South African.

WOMEN ICONS

These are 3 of my portraits of women artists and writers whom I admire. I had done 2 more which unfortunately came out of the kiln with awful blistered glazes looking rather like a skin disease! Aaah ceramics....not for the faint-hearted!
The plates are currently on show at Kalk Bay Modern in Kalk Bay, Cape Town
