Petra, a fine artist currently living in Jeffreys Bay, was born in Bloemfontein in the Free State and grew up in Parys. She studied art at Bloemfontein Teacher’s College and under numerous internationally noted artists

Her work is a mixture of different art forms, but could mostly be described as “contemporary-impressionistic”. The art that she creates reflects her inner feelings at a given moment. Petra’s aim is: to always grow and improve in her work – to succeed in transforming her feelings into conceptions and perceptions of her emotions and dreams. The result of all this inner questioning/thinking would be the absolute honest production of her inner self.
