Footnotes

I was born in South Africa, studied art in Johannesburg and now I am based In London. Working part-time surrounded by art, whilst being a wife and mother, I try and create in my spare time. Exploring the depths of my art and combining it with my child's art to create something new whilst I still remain a portrait artist at heart. Instead of perfection, I wish for each piece to evoke positive emotion through its honest content, colour and design. "This is the season to make beautiful things. Not perfect things but honest things..." -MHN

Thanks to photographer Cristiana Mascari / people_in_places https://www.instagram.com/people_in_places__. I had the wonderful opportunity of painting from one of her photos, a Palermitan women from Palermo, Ballaró Market.
