Painting Africa

In December last year, I hatched a crazy plan: to paint my experiences in Africa in a kind of journal style text & image paintings. I hadn’t painted in 10 years but suddenly it was like an urge to do this. Since then, I’ve been painting whenever I find time for it. It’s nowhere near perfect, but I do see improvement from the first paintings to now. Looking forward to where this journey will take me!

I am an anthropologist of religion and photographer, currently living in Pretoria, South Africa. I wrote my PhD-thesis on narratives about Satanism in Zambia. Currently I am preparing a new research project that uses photography as an ethnographic method. In my free time, I love hiking, safaris and enjoying nature through photography.
