I was always interested in drawing and painting and I was very lucky to be gifted the talent to do this.

I won the Betham Art Scholarship while at Secondary School, then went on and did my Fine Arts Prelim. While attending Wellington School of Design and studying Architecture.  Since then, I have painted on a regular basis and with various mediums.

My full-time work, Architecture has been complimentary to my art, as I have been able to paint architectural perspectives, both for myself and many Architects throughout New Zealand.

My work has moved on from a more detailed style to a looser representational style where I let the mind of the viewer fill in the spaces, with colour and light playing an important part.

While many subjects interest me, I do confess to enjoying painting the sea and boats but on occasions do venture into completely new ground, not always successfully but always interesting and I think an important part of development and stimulation.  I have enjoyed doing commissions and also seeing many of my paintings going to homes throughout New Zealand and Overseas.
