Orepuki, Southland provides me with the constant inspiration that motivates me to make artworks on a fairly regular (obsessive) basis. I believe beauty lies in simplicity. Gemstone beach, with the ever view, wind slapped cliffs, expansive skies and incandescent light. A simple stone on the beach, the imprints of bird prints on sand or weathered twine that sits, curled and nestled beside a delicate slither of seaweed.

I guess I’m best described as a mixed media artist. I play with watercolours, acrylics, pastels, inks and graphite. I like to layer with resin and varnish. I love fabrics, particularly vintage ones with a story to tell.
