I have been called a Colourist, a Symbolist and a Regionalist; Art aficionados Fiona Jack and Peter Webb have likened my work to the New Zealand artists, Bill Sutton and Rita Angus.
My landscapes have a pathos, a quiet sadness, reminiscent of the ‘theatre of unease’ in New Zealand films, while my portraits are often tense with underlying narrative.
I have won many awards and been selected 7 times as a finalist for the Adam Portrait Award.
