My creative spark was ignited back in 1970 as an exchange student in Wyoming, where I was given free reign of a studio for a year to produce whatever I felt like.  Bliss!  In 2023 after an enjoyable career elsewhere, I finally set about becoming an artist.  53 years of delayed gratification unleashed!

I primarily paint in acrylics including portraiture, abstract Landscapes and observations on life in NZ.  I also sculpt in stone and wood using material found at Muriwai.  

I love all aspects of the creative process and would try everything if I had time. 

When I’m not creating, I spend time with my family and coach rowing.
