Location: New Zealand
As far back as I can remember I have wanted to paint. So now that my boys have grown and spare time has come back into my life I have picked up a paint brush once again.
I just adore colour, strong texture, warmth and the feeling of being drawn into a painting. My influences come from many streams; an angry ocean, soft warm sand, the sun rising through heavy cloud, a clear blue sky. By incorporating these facets into my work I produce abstract and landscape pieces that are striking and at the same time very pleasing to the eye.
Recently I have been experimenting with a new medium - paper... The combination and manipulation of paints and selected paper leaves a fabulous fluid type effect. This new technique is allowing me to produce some striking pieces, full of colour and design.
I have travelled considerably throughout Asia, loving every minute, all the scenery, customs, food, sights and the ways of the people. This probably accounts for the strong Asian theme in my recent artworks, however who cannot love the beauty of New Zealand and the fun of an abstract.
My paintings are now held in collections throughout New Zealand, Australia, UK, Ireland, and the USA.
