ACTRESS & ARTIST

CHICAGO THE MUSICAL - BROADWAY

Broadway - London - Japan - South Africa

Chicago's longest playing Velma Kelly!

Art and Acting

Creative aptitude can spill over to other disciplines. Painting doesn't really seem much of a leap from theater for me. Both require training, preparation, rehearsal, performance, and a look inward for truth and authenticity. Perhaps the big difference is to look harder in art and to listen harder in acting.

I come from South Africa and have lived a nomadic lifestyle, settling for periods in the UK, France and New York, and now in the lovely village of Maplewood NJ. 

Constantly moving from place to place is not just a result of a long career as an actor, but also because of a strong desire to keep changing my surroundings. When I visit a new place, I always have a sense of needing to exist there and feel like I belong rather than simply being a tourist. Painting makes me feel like I’m scratching more than just the surface of a place.

Most of the characters I paint are drawn from the theatrical world in which I exist. My objective is to find a way to capture intimate moments before and after performances when the true nature of  character is revealed. There is often an instant where, before a performance, the actor must transform from insecure to self-assured. Sometimes it may be a shadow of an expression, somewhere between terror and euphoria, that gives away the truth of the actors experience. I am intimately familiar with those moments. I paint representationally in oils to try find the details, nuances, inner dialogue and drama of those moments.

      I find a sense of theater in everything. I paint the extraordinary people I know, and the intriguing situations I have found myself in. 

I am especially inspired by artists whose work suggests a sense of humor but on deeper inspection reveals a profound truth and seriousness.
