Kia ora

Originally from the North-West of England, I now live in Wellington,
New Zealand with my wife and daughter.

My latest work is a series based on Mt Kaukau and the surrounding hills and streams in Wellington. I walk the tracks and, weather permitting - set up my easel and attempt to capture the peace and stillness to be found there. Larger studio paintings are then created using these as a base.

I love to capture the unique beauty of New Zealand in my landscapes. Oils are my main medium of choice, however I also enjoy using watercolours and acrylics depending on what I'm trying to achieve. My happy place is out painting en plein air with just myself and the surrounding wildlife. I also love socialising with other artists and supporting their endeavours. Believing that there is always something new to learn, I have a large library of art books that I regularly call upon.

As a graphic designer, I have studied art and design to degree level – encompassing art history, colour theory, graphic comunication and many painting styles and techniques. These are always useful skills and practices to refer back to.
