ABOUT ME

Welcome to my website. Thank you for visiting. This is a new website which allows you to purchase my artwork directly, freight-free New Zealand-wide. 

The website has a good range of my work available with works dating back 12-plus years. 

This artwork includes smaller watercolour studies, limited edition prints and original acrylic and oil-on-canvas works. 

I am Auckland, New Zealand based, and mainly paint acrylic on canvas works, about the subject matter I care about and would like to examine further. This process includes painting a macro view of nature that expresses its essence; colour, form and the light that plays on it.

Over many years I have also made jewellery as a hobby and more recently I have been doing more of it. I have recently released some pieces for sale which are now available on this new website to purchase. Please keep an eye out as I release more exciting new original one-off pieces.

please note for most of my rings I can resize for you, do not hesitate to ask to confirm if I can do this for. 

 

MY BIO

My parents were active participants and followers of New Zealand art since the 1970s, which ignited my interest in art. A degree and career in Architecture then gave me a deeper understanding of form, colour, composition and light which has given me a springboard to explore my love of art.

New Zealand’s bush, native flora, landscape environments and botanical gardens have been favourite themes of mine for many years. Through highlighting the vibrancy and distinctiveness of these natural environments in my artwork, I hope viewers of my works have the same opportunity to learn and share the enjoyment with me.
