CONTEMPORARY PAINTER

I move from part realism to expressionistic work and back again. I am known for my Expressionistic oil paintings, Big Sky and Whitebaiter landscapes, Fertility dolls, Holy Cows and Mother Nature figures.

University Entrance Art and Art History. Bachelor of Commerce from Victoria University, Wellington.

2 years studying painting with Roberto Paulet, Inverlochy Art School, completing his master's class.

A keen traveller developing a strong interest in other cultures, in particular ethnic beliefs especially relating to fertility. I have completed 3 series relating to that.

Over the last 21 years, I have continued to study art and fine-tune my skills. I have cherry-picked courses with selected artists in England, USA and in New Zealand.
