Meet the Artist

Yes, that’s me – hiding away in my home studio just pottering around, making things. That’s what I enjoy – being in my own space, being creative and making cool stuff.

 

Over the past few years, my creative endeavours have mostly been centred around pencil drawings. It started on a whim; a spark of inspiration. I’d hardly drawn since high school but on that day, I picked up a pencil and drew a native morepork owl. I put that drawing up on Trade Me (just for shits-and-giggles, right?). Well, that drawing sold and it was the beginning of something special… 

 

Making a subject come alive on paper is the part I enjoy the most. It’s a challenge and that’s why I do it. This is likely why I primarily lean towards realism as my artistic style.  Everything in nature is alive and that is what inspires me and challenges me. I love to draw animals, plants, insects, all sorts of ‘natury’ things. Sometimes I like to add a touch of whimsy and humour to my drawings because I like an artwork that makes me (and you) smile. 

 

Let me tell you—I'm not a fan of the pretentious art world! I don’t really care for all that highbrow stuff, but I do enjoy creating and sharing my work directly with everyday art lovers like you. One day, I hope to have a space where you can visit, view my artwork, and chat. Until then, you can find my full catalogue of work online. You can also catch me at a few events, so be sure to check the Markets and Expos page for upcoming happenings.   

 

I invite you to join me on my creative journey. By signing up for my mailing list, you'll receive occasional updates directly from me. This includes notifications about newly finished artworks and all the other important and interesting news.

Thank you for exploring my work. I hope you’ll stay connected so I can share more of my artwork with you soon.
