What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to grow creatively while contributing positively to my team.

I am a passionate BA Visual Arts graduate from the University of Johannesburg, where I honed my skills over three years in various artistic mediums. My education has equipped me with a strong foundation in art theory, drawing, studio practice, and new media. I possess a keen eye for detail and a commitment to translating ideas into visually compelling expressions. I am eager to contribute my artistic ideas and utilize the skills I have gained to make a positive impact in my future role.

Throughout my journey, I have gained valuable experience in various roles, including as a retail sales assistant, tutor, and Sunday school teacher. These positions have not only enhanced my communication skills but also allowed me to foster supportive environments for others. My recent solo exhibition at Constitutional Hill showcased my organizational skills and ability to articulate my creative vision effectively. I am excited to continue growing within different divisions of the art world and seek opportunities that challenge my skills and knowledge.
