I've used the image of the (a)lone 'shepherd' or 'warrior' a great deal, especially of late. I'm deeply drawn to all it represents. Perhaps too it is symbolic of a time of waiting for a 'Spring' that brings new and hope-filled things.

It now hangs in a beautiful space in Hout Bay where I'm grateful for it being appreciated by a magnificent woman, herself both a Shepherd and Warrior.

Some works are special for me for different reasons: this, one of the last works to be made in my studio with my beloved Hugo who soon after it was completed, found his wings.

I am now (a)lone artist in my studio. But then. To stand firm.
