I completed this piece: "Copper Milk Churn" last year. It's a special piece, being created on metallic scratchboard, so that the copper foil backing is revealed through the ink coating as the image is created. Most of my works are also available as prints in a variety of sizes on both high quality papers and on stretched canvas. However, this piece has proved impossible to reproduce satisfactorily and so it remains as an original only. A true one-of-a-kind!

"Copper Milk Church" is one of a number of my original works which is currently on exhibition in the Richard Crowie Hall at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town. This exciting exhibition, curated by Jill Fearon, features work by a number of Cape Artists, and runs until 21st March, 2019.

    I started my 'journey' with Scraperboard or Scratchboard Art in 1968. Since then I have been working exclusively in this medium.
