My Art Life History

No art school. No tuition.
I began with a brief skirmish with dry and oil pastels on A4 paper around 2000, when I was living in
Seferihisar, Turkey.Then, nothing except a few dozen greeting card paintings until 2014 when my consistent practice got under way. Since then a solo show Land Village Fences at Kina New Plymouth, and continuing consignments there and Tennyson Gallery, Napier. In 2019 three paintings, Threats, It Rains Here [Piopiotahi/Milford Sound], and Aotearoa Waits were selected for the Hawkes Bay Art Review, and one piece, Take Me To The River was selected for the Hawkes Bay Review in 2021. In October 2026 I will take up a three week Residency at Chateau d'Orquevaux, France.
