Artist story:

I was born and raised in South Westland on a dairy farm in Hari Hari. I moved to Canterbury in the late 60s.

I was interested in art from a young age, becoming a full time artist by the age of 22. Initially concentrating on pencil drawings, mainly of architectural subjects, finding inspiration in derelict houses and farm buildings.

I paint simple subjects that surround me living in the vast landscapes of Canterbury and Otago. My painting style depicts the romance of our rugged New Zealand landscape. I am captivated by contrasting light and dark creating highlights and long shadows on building facades, boats, rural railway sidings, beehives and mailboxes. I also love painting portraits in particular New Zealand’s rural characters.

I exhibit widely throughout New Zealand, participating in both group & solo exhibitions.

I married my wife Sally in 1992 and we have two boys: Angus (31) and Sam (28).
