About me

My name is Althea and I am an artist and illustrator based in South Africa. I am a spirited creative, always seeking to explore my skills and grow my artistic abilities. From a very young age I was sketching, painting and making things. I have been practising my craft in different mediums since my early 20s after studying Visual Art at the University of Johannesburg.

I love working with a variety of mediums and experimenting with textures and colour to create an emotive mark. Combining watercolour, gouache and digital painting, adds a rich diversity of colour nuance and a whimsical flair, coupled with the techniques I have explored over the years which have in turn evolved into a full time career in art and illustration.

With the heart of an adventurer, I am hugely influenced by nature and animals. You can find me out on the trails in my free time, hunting for drawing references; discovering new plants, creatures and landscapes to merge with my love for creating art and making it a lifestyle and not only a career that I am very passionate about.
