Welcome to my site. I am a
landscape painter, portrait and graffiti artist. By trade, I am a graphic designer and
illustrator, and took up painting
for its own sake in 2002. I had found my work was
becoming more specialised in publication design,
at the expense of the more enjoyable illustration
work.
Although as
a painter I only had myself to please, I soon
discovered that others liked my work. Since
hanging my first few works at a local cafe, I have
found a ready audience.
I like the deep autumn shadows
on the Orongorongos, the variegated evening sky
over the Wellington Heads, and the modest and
incidental structures you find in the environment
- sheds, signal boxes, and harbour lane markers. After travelling to Melbourne to complete my MFA I rekindled an interest in spray applied art and portraiture. More recently I have done a series on Kiwiana products.
In late 2018 I travelled to Europe and the United Staes on sabbatical, and documented the trip with drawings and paintings. Click here to go to my illustrated travel blog.
