There’s a quiet kind of magic in holding a piece of art in your hands, placing it on your wall, and feeling how it changes a space. That’s the beauty of art — it connects, transforms, and becomes part of your daily story.
I’ve always believed that art is meant to be shared and loved. That’s why I’m thrilled to have a range of my work is available as prints through Nifty Posters — a proudly South African platform that brings affordable, high-quality wall art to homes across the country.
So... what are prints, anyway?
A print is a high-quality reproduction of an original artwork. It’s not a copy in the way we might think of a photocopy — it’s more like a carefully made echo of the original, designed to preserve its detail, colour, and emotion. While the original holds the brushstrokes, textures, and time of creation, a print carries the heart of the piece into more hands and homes.
Why I chose to offer prints
Let’s face it: original art can be expensive — and rightly so. It takes time, emotion, and a deep part of the artist’s self. But I know not everyone has the means to invest in originals. Prints make it possible for more people to enjoy art without the pressure of a hefty price tag.
They’re a way for me to share my work with more of you, and for you to bring a piece of beauty into your home that feels personal and accessible. I don’t believe prints take anything away from an original — in fact, they extend its life. The original still holds a unique place in my heart, but knowing that its essence can live in different spaces makes me so happy.
Why I partnered with Nifty Posters
When it came to choosing where to release my prints, Nifty Posters felt like the perfect fit. Based in Stellenbosch, they print, frame, and ship artwork right here in South Africa, with a focus on supporting local artists and creators. Their passion for print and wall art shines through everything they do — and their commitment to quality means you’re getting a product that truly honours the artwork.
Whether you’re in Cape Town or Pofadder, they’ll deliver right to your door — with free shipping on orders over R1500 and a flat R95 rate otherwise.
Why prints matter
Prints may not be one-of-a-kind, but they carry value in different ways:
-
They’re affordable, which makes collecting art possible for more people.
-
They’re versatile, making it easier to decorate your space or change things up seasonally.
-
They support artists, even if you can’t buy the original.
-
They make art approachable — not intimidating or exclusive.
And honestly? I think the world could use more art on its walls.
Explore my prints
You can now shop a selection of my watercolour artworks as prints on Nifty Posters. I’ve carefully selected pieces that are close to my heart — some quiet moments, some bold colour bursts, some gentle animals — all created to bring a sense of calm, joy, or wonder into your space.
Thank you for supporting my work, whether you’ve bought an original, shared a post, or chosen a print. It all means the world.
Let’s keep making the world a little more beautiful, one print at a time.
