I live and work in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, and this website is a place to show some of my paintings, drawings and other bits and pieces; and also for me to keep a record of them, as some are scattered far and wide.
In my work I try to capture some of the beauty and idiosyncrasies of the world, particularly people and their surroundings. I like to paint from life when possible and I'm constantly inspired by the changing qualities of light, and all that can be communicated through it.
