I have technical expertise in information technology, photography and sound and lighting design. My professional photographic experience to date includes portraiture, architecture and street life. As an experienced lighting and sound designer I have produced many large-scale events including musicals, theatre productions and concerts. I am seeking a professional environment in which I could expand my skill set.

I am a self-taught artist from Aotearoa New Zealand’s South Island. I was born and raised for my first fifteen years in Nelson and spent a subsequent twelve years in Christchurch. I currently reside in Wellington and Whanganui. My ancestry is Maori (from Takaka) on my mother’s side and Scottish/Spanish on my father’s.

I have spent the last two decades exploring the expressive form of painting and I have been, to date, mostly an alternative artist, outside the gallery scene and showing in non-commercial spaces.

Having painted my way through Europe for a few years from 2003, my travels have helped me to observe and construct a narrative in my work. I have been looking, firstly, towards similarities and differences within the frame of my New Zealand identity and secondly, at how the New Zealand identity fits within the wider global context. I currently have works in collections in New Zealand, Spain, France, Italy and London.
