Portrait of my brother, Ben, painted earlier this year. He is very happy with it.
Arts Village 200 Show
Lockwood BOP Artists Exhibition
This exhibition was a great opportunity for local artists to show their work, and was a really interesting and varied show. It was great that Lockwood offered their showhomes as a venue, while there are limited places to exhibit at the moment in Rotorua. I was thrilled that my work sold at the opening. “Only in Darkness will the stars shine”, oil on canvas.
Walker & Hall Art Award
I had a painting accepted for the Walker & Hall Art Award at the Waiheke Island Art Gallery. “Waiting at the edge of the world”, oil on aluminium. Due to the Auckland lockdown, both the exhibition and the awards ceremony were postponed, but it finally went ahead and has just finished. And I was pleased to find out that it has been sold.

Rotorua Museum Art Award
This is a very late to be posting, but here is my painting “The thief of dreams” which was accepted for the finals of the Rotorua Museum Art Award 2019. As the museum is still closed for earthquake repairs the exhibition was held in the Rotorua Energy Events Centre. It was a really interesting show.
Bahai exhibition
This painting was done for the “Unity in Diversity” exhibition in Rotorua, organised by Trish de Muth, which celebrated 200 years of the Baha’i faith. The paining illustrates the quote “It is better to guide one soul than to possess all that is on earth…”.
