About me .....  
I am a painter and multi-disciplinary artist​. My work over the years has involved mixed-media techniques, photography, time-elapse photography, light painting, light-box art, acrylic painting (abstract) and oil painting (landscapes). Much of it can be seen on this website.
​
​I have a Master of Fine Arts (MFA 1st class Hons) and I am also an experienced High School teacher (DipTchg). 
​
My studio is at Mangawhai Heads, Northland, Aotearoa New Zealand. ​

Below is my latest painting, “Shadows” representing a move in my direction. My primary focus remains the dramatic effect of light, chiaroscuro, but it is now rendered with more subtlety; hard defined edges are contrasted with some soft, dissolving edges, where form gently merges with shadow and atmosphere.
