Artist’s Statement
I am a self-taught artist based in Warkworth who has been painting for 15 years. My paintings are semi-abstract, an exploration of colour and light using both emotive and pictorial elements.
Born in Napier, as a child my family holidays were spent tramping and camping throughout New Zealand. The first seeds for my painting were sown amidst those glorious sunsets, mountains and beaches. Since then, I have been immersed in an array of magical and inspiring vistas, constantly inspiring my passion to translate their beauty through art.
Colour and light in our landscapes is forever changing and temporal. To paint is to try and catch some of this liquid beauty. I hope my paintings invite you in to experience some of that beauty and that you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed their creation.
