The extent of her work with her brush has reached the United States, Western Europe and South Africa. She often paints at her subject’s home, even though she has her studio located in Johannesburg or uses the studio of her twin sister.
Around three weeks are needed for the artist to complete the painting of one portrait in a studio. It would not take that long painting on location, which would last only five days. Wherever she paints is a contributor to how her painting would turn out in the end. There would be times when she actually has dinner with the subject to learn more about the kind of home and life the portrait would have.

The autobiography of one well known actress has a cover which is the same as the portrait that the artist made of the actress. The members of the family who owns the five and dime fortune, the makers of fa mouse tomato ketchup of 57 varieties fame, the maker of tire and rubber, and the makes of that famous line of greeting cards are just some of the famous people she has already made portraits of. A Dominican monk and a tribal chief have also made it to her list of recorded portraits. She could not believe where commission was coming from once her portraits became so popular world wide.
Flattery is not openly practiced by her, but there is a quality of flattery that comes into how she portrays her subjects. The matter of costume is discussed between subject and artist in a negotiating manner. She respects what her subjects want to wear for the portrait, be it a university robe or a favorite dress. Informal wear is something she prefers women wear. She recommends that her subjects wait a day for their hairdos to settle and also offers suggestions on makeup.
While she paints, she talks to her subjects and leads them to talk back the same way. She keeps their lips moving, so she can catch that going into a smile look. If a person is bored, it can be easily seen in the portrait. To know whether to go for a formal or casual pose and how much of their body should be included in the shot, clients study a book of photographs that display the artist’s work.
With ink, oil, or tempera in sepia tones, you can also create sketches. When she sketches, she sometimes makes a lot of sketches of the person on just one canvas, but puts the most detailed sketch in the foreground. The output produced is similar to that of a sketch book page. Her career began 20 years ago when she and her sister had a two woman show of their abstracts in New York and the gallery owner insisted on hanging a self portrait which the artist had done for fun. It was the attraction of the show that was most memorable.
