Thanks for visiting :-) I live in the beautiful lakeside town of Taupo in the central North Island of New Zealand and I am a New Zealand en Plein Air painting artist meaning I now paint mostly in the outdoors with a portable easel. I love the exposure to the light and the ever changing landscape that will never be repeated. Mostly I get around by an adventure motorcycle so I can get to the out and beyond. If you are within 2 hours of Taupo New Zealand and you have an amazing view I would be interested in painting from your place with no conditions.
There are many paintings spanning 30 years and some are linked below on this page . Some are still for sale if you would like to own my work. There have been many stages and trends of my work over the years influenced by many other artists.
I also manage Your Story in New Zealand. A business that records Podcast interviews for anyone with a life story to tell (all of us) plus I do Photo Slide Scanning and VHS conversions to digital. Click Here for more on this.
Thanks again for your interest in my work.
Out and about on Kermit the Kawasaki
Painting Mt Titiraupenga from Ranginui Road.
The available paintings are mostly newer open air (en Plein Air) paintings from recent years and done in Acrylic but there are still some large oil paintings in my other collections too that are for sale. Enjoy!
The 1990's was my first decade of painting. It was a style of large heavy oil (impasto) pantings often framed in large Rimu (native New Zealand Hardwood) frames which I personally made in my studio. See a collection of these 1990's paintings here. Enjoy.
The Millennium paintings are from the years 2000 till 2013 and feature mostly large Oil Paintings done in the studio. I was fond of using box canvases in these paintings and adding a Rimu (native NZ Hardwood) box plate to the back of the canvas to create another dimension. See the Millennium paintings, some are available. Enjoy.
I lived in Britain for two years painting in Oils at this time in a make shift studio in Maidstone. See the Britain paintings. Some are available Enjoy.
My video logs (Vlogs) show me painting in various scenic locations. See the videos. Enjoy.
