About Me

Living back in New Zealand after four years in Brighton, U.K. Had exhibitions in Brighton and sold my work on the Brighton sea front, as well as the Greenwich Market in London. Time to be a New Zealand artist again, will be setting up our own gallery soon in Motueka which is very exciting.--------------------------------------------------- --------My works are limited edition mixed media prints (Digital). They represent the cumulative experience of a place, stitched together with the cracks, scars and memories of their own history. Instilled in their making is the broader ambience of a place, its whispered spirit, its echo's and its possibilities.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Long stretches of road with no particular destination, my motorcycle, my girlfriend and the mountains behind our new home. Rusty colours, cracks and stains, things that are tarnished and waeather beaten. Tunnells. Light and rising steam. Artists (Frank Miller, Frazetta, Simon Bisley, Beksinski, Rodney Mathews, Rick Griffin, Ralph Steadman, Allen Lee, Philippe Druillet, Turner...)
