Liesel is a South African contemporary realist artist whose work is inspired by the beauty, emotion, and intricate details found in both people and nature.
While she is best known for her portraiture, her artistic practice extends to underwater scenes, wildlife, florals, and other nature-inspired subjects. Through her work, she seeks to capture not only a subject’s appearance but also its essence, creating pieces that invite viewers to pause and connect with the world around them.
Working across a variety of mediums—including oil paint, graphite, soft pastel, acrylic, watercolour, and mixed media—Liesel enjoys exploring the unique possibilities each offers while maintaining her commitment to realism and fine craftsmanship.
She is currently developing her latest collection, Oceans, a series of twenty original artworks inspired by the wonder, movement, and mystery of the underwater world. The first piece in the collection is now on display in her gallery.
