About Me

As an emerging artist, I have been been painting for six years. A sellout exhibition in 2008 at Pataka, a local gallery and museum, encouraged me to pursue a full time career in art. Although largely self taught, I have studied under acclaimed New Zealand artist Jane Kellahan and art tutor Ian Hulston.

I have explored a variety of media and techniques over the years and found great pleasure in them all. My current work is all about the places we know and frequent. Cafes, beaches, shops and restaurants are favoured subject matter. Using mixed media including collage, acrylic paint and ink, it is my desire that the final result will inspire the viewer both with a sense of familiarity and expression.
