BIOGRAPHY


Payne has worked form various studios in Cape Town, as well as in Johannesburg and abroad from time to time. Conducting her own residencies has had a great influence on her work, noteably Berlin and Barcelona in 1988/89, New York in 1995, Tokyo in 2002 and Dharamkot and Khajuraho in 2012. In 2014 Payne moved her studio to 196 Victoria, a beautifully renovated Victorian building in the heart of Woodstock in Cape Town.
