About Us
A South African in the heartland of America!
I hope you feel the energy of South-Africa in America and even though these are printed in the U.S.A. They are imagined from my deep connection with the African continent.
American lifestyle inspired designs are in my heart. Here I have always been welcomed and where the future lies. The expanse of this land is inspiring! It has it's own awesome heritage and wonders but, my heritage is South-African and the wildlife will forever be part of my soul.
Growing up in South-Africa, the wonder of nature all around you can be taken for granted. It was just part of life but, I can truly say that the presence of these magnificent creatures inspired awe and the experience can only be described as insights into the real meaning of life.
“Nature was a friend of our original instinctive self or soul because we grew up with it. Humanity spent all its infancy and childhood alongside nature in the ‘Garden of Eden’ that was Africa” - Jeremy Griffith, FREEDOM, The End Of The Human Condition.
Bold and very visual, raw and imperfect, these designs represent a true and unpretentious imagination. I can only dare to give meaning to it and it's what I wish you can buy online from anywhere that reconnects you to the natural world, your home.
I am really glad I found you. Let me know what you think! Most of the time I am by myself when I'm talking. It's like I can't shut-up but there is no one around!
Join this journey at ROOS Original Designs with big dreams and big prayers for a new South African - American horizon.
