For as long as I can remember, I have created. Using whatever I could get my hands on. Over time, only my materials have changed (although somedays I prefer to regress back to where it all began....) from crayon and walls.... mud and concrete.... its now more paint and canvas... graphite and a really classy paper stock.

I've spent the majority of my life creating art, in fits and starts.... selling here and there... (I've exhibited in Tauranga, Gisbourne, the Manawatu and Whakatane. I've sold works locally and to Australia, the UK, Ireland and the United States) Creativity, in general, is my lifes dream - it's something I thrive off, and struggle when it lacks in my diet.

Recently, life - and love, and love of life has enabled me to throw caution to the wind, and really knuckle down and persue art - as a choice, as a career, and as a way of life.

I've studied, I've worked in various roles, all which have influenced my work.... if you asked what my primary focus and drives are when creating, I'd say it's environmental - and research and knowledge of the world we live in today, and it's concerns very much drive a passion in creating environmentally aware work. Off that, stems a drive from the beauty that surrounds us daily - our beautiful people, our stunning landscape.... a lot of heart goes into creating each and every piece I make... regardless of the influence.

I believe in all creativity influencing mood, educating and heightening awareness. The same way you can feel music in your soul - I try and capture that within my imagery.... so that it can be received in much the same way by it's audience.

From pet portraiture, which came about by working some time with large breed dogs, and developing connections with some amazing animals - where I try and capture that within my sketches.... to sculpture to painting to drawing with anything and everything.... creativity starts with a spark.... and ignites into a furnace when nurtured just right.
