Sometimes, I even learn new techniques from my students. Although I am still a student at the Art Institute, I think that I have learnt a lot from the classes that I have already taken.

Of course I had the parallel of having the early years of my life being spent during apartheid, and then having a lot of awful poverty going on around me while I lived in this bubble of middle-classness, but I was a child, and I only really started to (I hope) understand all of that fairly recently.

As a visual arts teacher, I have to keep my mind open. I have explores styles from pointillism to cubism.

Apart from the traditional paintings I also dabble with a little photography.

I developed this guiding statement to stress on the fact that every good thing takes time to develop.

Trying to be really dark and alienating just felt exhausting to me, so I started going back to the music that I grew up with, whether it was African music or pop music. It took me away from being overly self-conscious about what I was doing.

I think that there is always room for improvement so I am seeking to reach as far as I can in my field of art, film and animation.
