Bring the soul of Africa into your space with fine art prints by a South African-born artist whose passion for the wild runs deep. Working in paint and pastel, each piece captures the raw beauty, spirit, and untamed essence of the African wilderness. These artworks are more than just images; they’re memories made visible, evoking the wild Africa we remember and still hold close. Whether you’re longing for home or simply drawn to the continent’s natural magic, these prints offer a powerful connection to the land, the wildlife, and the stories that shaped us.
’ In 2001 this ‘Wise Man’ came to life on a piece of calico, it’s all i could get my hand on at the time. A year later I had it framed, it is in a private collection. Growing up in South Africa gave me access to the wild and to be fair was a huge part of my life in those days. I painted quite a few logos for safari’s on the doors of their trucks and the good old fashioned Army tents. They were a great sturdy surface to paint on, and oh the jackets and cushion covers, I painted.
Living in New Zealand I embraced the native wildlife, the kingfisher being a strong tie to the South African Kingfisher. I have always felt the draw to the wild of Africa and eventually gave in and continued my love for the African bush.’
Claire hopes to bring the colour and connection of the South Africa we loved for so long to everyone who shares her love.

Painting in 1999 of the Wild dog. Claire started out painting for safari groups, designing logos and painting on the 4 x 4’s. Army tents and leather jackets, to now living in New Zealand and exhibiting in Galleries, the connection to South Africa lives still so strong in her heart.

More than cats!
