I have been to India many times and truly love it - the people, contrasts and character that is a melding of culture, colour, charisma and chaos. The sights, smells and sounds can be full on and at times confronting, but I have found India and her people to be open and more than the sum of its many, many parts. See more.

I have been painting birds for some time now, most recently focussing on New Zealand native birds. These works are from a project I set myself to take my mind of being locked down during the first Covid-19 outbreak in New Zealand. See more.

Commissions have included a tiny blue Penguin (kororā), Rock Wren (pīwauwau) and a beloved pet Duck. I am working on the Kererū and Kārearea (Native Falcon). See more.
I have been painting the iconic Wairarapa landscapes in acrylic on paper for many years. the different series range from realistic to more gestural works, from more muted to very vibrant abstracts.

I have undertaken may commissions of beloved animals and pets, primarily dogs and horses. See more.
I have painted many times a range of Military Studies and old Masters works. These have been gestural abstracts and quick studies drawing on old masters works, depicting military subjects including Napoleon, Gustav of Sweden, Count-Duke Olivares, and Field Marshal Lord Roberts. The first series of ‘war horses’ was for an Inverlochy Exhibition in mixed media of horses at war. See more.
