Je suis né en Rhodésie au Zimbabwe et j’y ai passé mon enfance.

Après mes études secondaires, j’ai complété un cours de 3 ans en graphisme et travaillé par la suite dans l’industrie de l’impression et du design graphique. J’ai émigré en Afrique du Sud en 1989 et pendant plusieurs années, j’y ai été propriétaire et directeur d’une entreprise d’impression. À cette époque j’ai commencé à documenter et peindre les Africains dans leur milieu rural. Après avoir émigré une troisième fois en 2000, au Canada cette fois, dans la région de Gatineau, je me mis à la peinture à plein temps. Je continuai à documenter et peindre les Africains au cours de voyages en Afrique du Sud; je présentai aussi des expositions de mes peintures dans des galeries sud-africaines et je me rendis dans des régions plus éloignées afin de prendre des photos.

Pendant cette période, mon travail a graduellement et radicalement évolué de la documentation aux portraits, dans lesquels je représente mon sujet d’une manière plutôt surréaliste et expressionniste. Je suis un peintre autodidacte.
