As a working artist I have exhibited my work in solo and group shows both nationally and internationally, and have sold work to private and public collectors in South Africa and overseas.

I am currently Academic Leader of the Centre for Visual Art (CVA), University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), where I completed a Practice-led PhD (PLR) in 2013.

In addition to my current portfolio of art making, academic management, teaching, supervision and research, I have art teaching experience at high school and adult education levels and have worked in the development facilitation context in KwaZulu-Natal. I was a founder member of DWEBA, an NGO that worked with rural craftswomen and developed a participatory training methodology using drawing as a central component. This methodology was published as a resource guide in 2001 entitled ‘Drawing our Lives”.
