To practice any Art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow.
So do it. ( - By: Kurt Vonnegut )
Born into a South African family of artists, my creative flow has carefully been etched and brushed and assumed its own identity as I've transitioned from pre-school to post graduation with a graphic design diploma and you could say 46 years of creative passion and experience.
With a background in design, both graphic and web for the past 26 years, married with further studying in pewter creation for 12 years and a progressive experiential refinement of those skills, the only limitations to what I can design for you is - your imagination.
Drawing inspiration from the acrylic impasto techniques of history's most famous artists, I love to personalise original works and re-interpret them in my own style.
Aside from Pewter and graphics, I am frequently commissioned to paint customised and meaningful pieces, which allows me to further express myself more meaningfully.
A blank canvas allows my heart and my hand to passionately create my emotions and none more powerfully than through the medium of acrylic paint and various styles of impasto expressionism.
My experiences in graphic, web and creative design, infused with a hunger for capturing your imagination, offers you - my muse - a piece of art that reflects my sincerest thoughts and efforts into perfecting a piece that has a connection, a feeling, an emotion and which radiates from within me toward a collaborative work that can be celebrated on the canvas.
ART DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PRETTY. IT HAS TO BE MEANINGFUL.- DUANE HANSON
