I’m aware my paintings are quite eclectic and varied but I actually enjoy mixing it up and painting in a style that complements my purposes for each piece.

In my Ferry Landing studio, I draw inspiration from the ocean rolling into Maramaratōtara Bay from Mercury Bay.

My art continues to feature a blend of abstract and representational elements, often focusing on themes of nature and the human experience.

My journey into art started with 10 years of deep depression. During this time, my counsellor suggested I start painting, which led to me putting some paintings into an exhibition run by Stepping Out, a support group for psychiatric survivors in Thames.
