White Poppies - Finding Beauty in Chaos Series (2017) Painting by Cherie Roe Dirksen

I'm a self-empowerment author as well as a multi-media artist (which includes being a painter, bass guitarist for Indie band, Templeton Universe, designer and composer). I originally come from the tip of Africa — Cape Town.

My art is a reflection of my inner workings and my passion for bright colours, form, symbology, fractals and sacred geometry — whatever stimulates me to unpack a vision onto canvas with whatever medium feels right (which is why I continuously experiment with mixed media).

My ambition is to bring something fresh, spirited, emotive and unique into the world.
