Statement: Art is everything but everything is not art. I am a white South African male who has fought against Apartheid since my university years. I cherish my African roots while I am deeply drawn to the masters of art who have done art mainly in Europe and whose works are so well preserved and studied the world over. I deplore the lack of respect for life world wide but feel it very much in the anxiousness of fellow South Africans (especially women, children and elderly). I am privileged to have lived in the place and at the same time that Nelson Mandela showed us how to live with respect to each living being. I am a Christian and have been a pastor in the Dutch Reformed Church, but I belief that God's undeserved love reaches out to people via every religion. I am blessed to be here and to serve where ever life leads me to do so.
