New Zealand Art

About Me
Born in New Zealand, I have been painting much of my life. After college I gained entry to Auckland fine arts school, Elam, but decided to study my other love, landscape horticulture instead.
After much travel and many life experiences, I have settled in Waipu, Northland. A wonderful rural setting in which to be creative.
My scenes are often local seascapes and tend to be semi-impressionistic to semi-abstract in style. I paint in acrylics and pastel.
​
Currently, I am moving more toward abstract. It allows for a more relaxed and exciting way to express myself.
