Wadada specialises in creating accessories through the art of beading, block printing, embroidery and sewing, with a focus on supplying luxury accessories that are both functional and fashionable.

He specialises in marine paintings, depicting life above and below the surface. And while his style has evolved over the years, his love of the sea has never diminished, as can be seen in the intricate detail and beauty of his work. His paintings are in high demand, with many adorning walls around the world. He has also established a fine reputation for his commission work, including producing entire collections based on specific themes. Doc is one of life’s real characters, usually shoeless, shirtless and full of chat, you are sure to enjoy a visit to his new gallery on Front Street in Port Elizabeth. You can also catch Doc by appointment at his studio in the quiet fishing village of Paget Farm, overlooking the sea. This is also the backdrop for Bequia’s fascinating Nautical Art Museum , a haven of tranquility nestled on a hillside amongst lush tropical vegetation and featuring the exquisite creations of well-known folk artists, Sam McDowell and his wife Donna, who lived there for many years. Art lovers and collectors will enjoy a guided tour of the museum, housed in a unique, old sea-side Bequia home, full of charm and character, and brimming with nautical artifacts.
