Living and working in Aotearoa New Zealand, I am a visual artist and painter.

My practice is rooted in a daily commitment to painting, shaped by the living world around me and the continual cycles of growth, decay and transformation. Through an evolving body of work, I explore the relationship between nature, perception and the experience of being human.

This site brings together my paintings, studies and ongoing projects, tracing the development of my practice and offering a place for others to encounter, collect and live with the work.
