Making portraits has always been what I do, an instinctual thing really, and I’ve always been drawn to the faces of Māori as subjects for painting.
Featured Artist: I recognise that my art practice reflects what’s happening within me, I can observe with curiosity what spills onto the canvas.
Hello! My studio/gallery is in beautiful Tairua. I create original artworks, merchandise, and hold art workshops and art retreats here in my studio.
Ian’s commitment to top-tier work and his engagement with visitors at his workshop have greatly contributed to the Coromandel Peninsula’s art scene allure. Travellers and art devotees become part of the artistic process, picking up pieces that resonate with them, learning about the craft, and leaving with more than a souvenir – an experience etched into their memories.
