This painting depicts a well known and much loved view of Mahurangi harbour. Painted from a photo I took as I was driving out towards Mita Bay on Mahurangi West Road. I love this area and it's beauty has inspired me to paint several paintings from different perspectives. Measuring 1240mm x 1240mm (framed in a black tray frame). This work makes a significant yet peaceful impact on any wall, and when it has been on one of mine it has been as if I was looking out a window.

Te Hauturu-o-Toi (the official Māori title for Little Barrier Island). Little Barrier is depicted in the far left of this print. Te Hauturu-o-Toi means "the resting place of lingering breezes", a title which captured my attention, both as a very fitting description of the beautiful land I was studying to paint, along with my felt sense while painting this work. I worked on this painting for six months, carefully considering detail, and the varying tones of lightness or darkness in every colour to create distance and balance within this composition. In this painting see if you can f... [view details]

This large work (of 210+ painting hours) depicts an amazing view from the lookout on the very beautiful Roberton island (or Motuarohia island) one of the many stunning spots in the Bay of Islands - in New Zealand's north island. I named this work after the lovely song "Summertime", and also my memories growing up in Paihia exploring the many islands nearby - Roberton being one of them. The left hand side of this print looks up Te Rawhiti inlet towards the main land at Rawhiti in the distance, the distant land on the right hand side directs the eye towards the gorgeous Pareanui an...

This painting depicts a beautiful view I saw while driving up from Thames towards the Coromandel township. I felt the raw and young essence of New Zealand in these hills, as they rolled down towards a sea filled with sunlight. The little cottage in the valley showing a hint of humanity, which is all but rendered insignificant amid the immense beauty of the surrounding land.

Measuring 790 x 1245mm this work is painted in acrylics on canvas framed in an oak tray frame polished with bees wax. $10,900.00

I saw this amazing plant while I was out walking around Grey Lynn during Auckland's last big lockdown. I'd never seen it before and I just thought it was amazing. It's called Echium Candicans, the pride of Madeira - as it is native to the island of Madeira.

This lovely work of acrylics on canvas measures 1045mm x 1225mm,and is complimented with a lovely wooden frame.

"Pride of Madeira" shows an exploration into an alternative style, in it's more abstract free expression, all the while keeping a play of the new Zealand light on form.

This work can simply be seen as a successful day out fishing, and there is so much life in this work.

I painting this original painting in 2001 in a style I developed utilising a water colour technique on paper. Looking at this painting now I imagine I was drawn to this subject matter because of the colour, composition and the light. Also - I love fish for dinner :-) 

Painting is framed in white mat board surround with chunky white frame measuring 696mm x 696mm $6,900

Prints of this work are available on both paper and canvas. Open Edition prints.

The sea splashes up and over the rocks at stunning Little Barrier island (Te Hauturu-0-Toi), and the pohutukawa trees extend across the point in the distance. Elements which for me capture the joy, beauty and mystery of this place, which I was fortunate to experience again in a recent visit.

Painted in 2001, this water colour work has until now been in my private collection. It shows how my work has evolved over the last 20 years to what it is today.

This stunning depiction of a medley of brightly coloured flowers is part of my most recent flowers series, A celebration of what it is to be alive. The style in this painting is considered and refined - expressing perhaps the delicate and fleeting nature of the subject matter.

This painting is a view of Waewaetorea island, over looking Waewaetorea channel. I was standing on Urupukapuka island in New Zealand's northland as I took the photo I painted from. The bay of Islands in the north is very special to me. I grew up there as a child and my family have lived there for generations.

This painting shows the watery space between one land form and another, and symbolically for me holds a felt experience of the many transitions we make in our lives. Some bigger at times than others.
