About The Artist
Hello and welcome, I am an artist living in Western Southland, and Queenstown, in the South Island of New Zealand.
Te Wai Pounamu o Aotearoa.
I currently divide my time between my studio at our Southland farm, and my Queenstown studio at Te Atamira Frankton.
The approach to my art practice, is emotive and expressive. I am influenced by the natural surroundings I live and work in, and respond to this with paint and colour. I work mainly in oils, in abstract, semi abstract and expressive styles.
I keep my followers up to date regularly on my studio, outdoors and farming life on social media. (Please follow via the links.)
For enquiries regarding paintings available to purchase, shows or other information, please contact me directly via email. Or visit my small painting online shop.
You can also sign up for news and studio updates at the bottom of each page. I send out occasional email, with first looks at new work, things I’ve been up to, also a few reviews and recommendations.
