I am a multi-disciplinary artist from New Zealand, with a long-standing interest in painting wildlife and humankind. 

 

I use portraiture to understand how we move and use our bodies and faces, exploring emotion and identity. 


Strongly influenced by story and a need to show what lies beneath, the narrative in my painting is about the influence we have on the world and vice versa. 

My acrylic work is mostly mural design and implementation.  My commissioned work is largely realistic, with abstract elements, and I enjoy adding a touch of symbolism.  

My watercolour work is portraiture of people, dogs and New Zealand wildlife.  I work on commission, and also have originals and prints for sale.  The  work is realistic and representative, and I enjoy the freedom, flexibility and immediacy which watercolour gives me.
