I am a British/New Zealand painter and I have an affinity with a number of countries. The themes of my paintings are not rooted in one place, they are made from memory, after observing a landscape, trees, the effects of light on the sea or skies. I have a great respect for the Maori world view, which acknowledges that the natural order of the universe should be in balance and the belief that humans are part of nature and should be guardians of the environment. I aim to connect with the idea of Kaitiakitanga (guardianship) by celebrating the natural world through my painting. I use photographs taken by myself and sketch outside as reference manipulating the paint to form textures and abstract forms.

Education: BA Honours Visual Studies/German, Oxford Brookes University. I worked as a German and Dutch speaking Salesperson and translator in Publishing and Export Sales. When I stopped work, volunteering as a Diversional Therapist at the Shakespeare Hospice and being a contestant on Sky Arts ” Landscape Artist of the Year”, motivated to paint seriously again myself.

Contact me if you would like to commission a painting, if you would like any further information or would like to buy any of the paintings on my website. I would be very happy to help you.
