The Artist
Preferred media: Painting (acrylic on boxed canvas)
I was raised in Christchurch of the South Island in New Zealand & continue to live here closely surrounded by my family. Having always been very passionate about painting & drawing growing up, becoming a full time artist in 2006 was a dream come true.
As an emerging artist, I am humbled & grateful that my work is growing in popularity at such a rapid rate.
While I do appreciate the skills of the older masters, my work is mostly influenced by New Zealand’s unique & beautiful scenery.
These are powerful scenes of New Zealand that cannot be expressed in words. Abundant in native plants/flowers & trees, the point of my art in general is to create paintings that give the viewer a sense of really being there. To create art that entices you to step into the painting. My focus is on pristine landscapes, free from man-made influences.

My Inspirational Heroe
Leonardo Da Vinci because he truely lived his art & had passion for everything he did. One of the most creative & inventive people of all time. "I will do things no one in the past has dared to do. I will think new thoughts. Bring new things into being." Even if he lived today, he would be considered a modern mind.
