My Art Life History

No art school. No tuition.
​It began with a brief skirmish with dry and oil pastels on A4 paper
around the millennium, when I was living on the Aegean coast of Turkey.
Once that was over, nothing except a few dozen greeting card sized paintings
until 2012, when a handful of works on canvas happened.
In 2014 my consistent practice got under way.

​Kia ora, Greetings,

Thank you for visiting. 
The status of each painting is noted, if SOLD, consigned to a gallery, or involved in a selection process or NFS. Otherwise all work is for sale.
I appreciate your interest, and am happy to respond to questions on the contact page.
