Originally from Central Otago and attaining Fine Arts qualifications at Canterbury University, the Manawatu is very much my home.
There is a certain atmospheric drama here, the plain is softened by iconic old trees casting warm shadows and our Manawatu river is a constant inspiration as it journeys from the Gorge towards the sea. The physical and spiritual experience of being part of this beautiful landscape always underpins my paintings.
I am a colour confident artist who endeavours to describe the Manawatu with a sensitive and unique understanding.
