I am an Auckland-based artist painting New Zealand landscapes and places, mainly in oil. My style leans towards painterly with a modernist feel, swinging between representative and abstract.

Since Aotearoa became my new home in 2007, I have travelled up and down the country photographing moments, landscapes and scenes from the far North to the deep South. These journeys later became the inspiration and material for my paintings, when in 2015, I found my way back to the brush and canvas.

I take time in shooting photos that tells a story about the land and my compositions always originate in my photography of the landscape. By using the viewfinder as a primary canvas, I decide if the emphasis will be on emotionality, light, form or colour.
