​

I am a multi-disciplinary artist from New Zealand, with a long-standing interest in painting wildlife and humankind. 

 

I use portraiture to understand how we move and use our bodies and faces, exploring emotion and identity. 

 

Strongly influenced by story and a need to show what lies beneath, the narrative in my painting is about the influence we have on the world and vice versa.  While my commissioned work is largely realistic, I enjoy adding a touch of the surreal to my personal work.  

​

My watercolour work is portraiture of people, dogs and New Zealand wildlife.  I work on commission, and also have originals and prints for sale.  The  work is realistic and representative, and I enjoy the freedom, flexibility and immediacy which watercolour gives me.
