At home tonight…
Willow keeping watch from the couch while the studio slowly fills with works for GRACE AND MERCY — opening 20 June 2026 at Stilbaai Galery.

The house is scattered with paintings, brushes, books, quiet light, and the comforting presence of a little dog in a striped jersey. These gentle in-between moments often feel as meaningful as the finished works themselves. 🤍

The Girls we were.

Oil on Canvas

In a time shaped by pressure, productivity, and constant noise, this exhibition asks a gentler question: not what makes us happy—but where we feel held.

Bringing together a collection of works rooted in emotional safety, nostalgia, rest, and repair, A Happy Place reflects a shared shift toward simplicity and inwardness. The exhibition embraces happiness not as spectacle or achievement, but as something subtle—fragile, intimate, and profoundly human.

These works offer a moment of pause. A soft place to land. A reminder that happiness can exist alongside complexity—and that sometimes it is found simply in the absence of threat.

Rather than presenting happiness as a destination, this exhibition extends an invitation:
to rest, to feel, to remember, and to exist gently—even if only for a moment.

Held by Light is a quiet study in stillness and surrender. In this intimate oil on canvas, a woman in a white dress floats gently in water, held as much by light as by the surface beneath her. Part of the still life series, the figure becomes a moment of calm contemplation—suspended, softened, and free from urgency.

Exhibited at Stilbaai Galery as part of the “A Happy Place” exhibition.

Group Exhibition Invitation

You are warmly invited to the opening of A Happy Place, a group exhibition exploring the quiet, deeply personal spaces we retreat to when the world feels overwhelming.
