Hello and welcome to my website. I have been painting and drawing since I was a child and most of my adult life. I have been fortunate enough to have made a living from my art for over 30 years.
I have had my works in many art exhibitions, the most recent was my solo exhibition held
at Creative Arts Napier (CAN). Thanks to those that went along and those that took a painting
home with them! Many of my works are posted in the Gallery pages.

I was fortunate to have had some of my works published in the New Zealand Artist Magazine recently as well as have one of my paintings on the cover! Such a great magazine always supporting New Zealand artists.
I am happy painting any subject from landscapes to portraits to still life's, it does not matter to me, I enjoy it all! Many of my works are commissions and I am happy to work from a good quality digital photo. Please get in contact if you would like to commission a special piece of art that has personal meaning for you.

Recent commission. This imposing character is now in his new home in Connecticut. Oil on canvas portrait of Tukaroto Matutaera Potatau Te Wherowhero Tawhiao, the second Maori King, from a photo taken probably in the 1880s that's in the Alexander Turnbull Library.
This is a limited edition reduction block print of the king of reggae himself "Bob Marley" .
I was really trying for an abstract, impressionist, pop arty look with lots of texture for this print and I am very happy with how it turned out!
With the reduction print method all that stays white is carved away from the block first and the first colour inked and printed, then successive colours are carved away until the last colour which is black. This edition had over 7 print-ups with sometimes 3 colours at the same time before the black and about a week to dry between colours. The thing I like about this method is that you never know until the last colour goes on what you are going to get. Every print is different and an individual piece of art in it's own right! and once the colours are all carved out you can not go back and make more. Unlike many limited edition prints that you see these days which are simply scans of an original artwork printed on a copier x amount of times. Hope you like it and anyone who is interested in obtaining one of these prints please e-mail me. Size of unframed, printed image is 60cm x 40cm will be signed and numbered.

I was born and raised in Napier, New Zealand and have lived here most of my adult life. We are so fortunate to have mountains, rivers and great beaches only minutes or hours away and our beautiful environment is the inspiration for many of my works.
These days my medium is predominantly oil paint, but sometimes acrylic or both (mixed media). I also prefer to paint on primed, stretched canvas. Most of my works would be described as realism but currently I am enjoying a more impressionist /abstract approach. Along with painting I am also enjoying the challenges involved with the art of reduction print making. As well as works being available on this site I also offer pieces occasionally through Trade-Me and Saatchi Art.
