What is Fluid Art?

Fluid Art is the magic that happens when mediums are combined in unique ways to create an organic style of abstract art. The artistry comes in the combinations of paint, colours, mediums and techniques to create unique, one-of-a-kind art works.

I live for Creativity

I have a Fine Art background and have been involved with, and teaching, various forms of Art, for as long as I can remember.

I live for Creativity, for imparting and passing on my knowledge. Always pushing the boundaries and experimenting with new mediums and techniques.

I have been practicing Fluid Art for over seven years now and still just as much in love with the various techniques.

I am so often taken aback by peoples comments, when they think that it is "so easy and that anyone can do it". If it was that easy, everybody would be doing it! Just like any other skill, it has taken years of practice and work to get it to the level that I am at.

My studio is my Slice of Heaven.

It is my quiet space, the place I retreat to when the outside world gets too loud and where I can let go & create. I like to think that people who come to my workshops feel the same, that they are able to leave their troubles at my door & for the time that they are with me, they are in a space safe enough for them to immerse themselves in the Creative process.

Once I had stumbled across Fluid Art, I made it my purpose to become The Go-To person for this medium, to become the leader in Fluid Art in KZN and to bring it to the public, whether it be through my art or through teaching.

 

Just as each style or technique of Fluid art is different, so too
 is each & every pour, you cannot replicate or reproduce it.
