All my paintings are oil on canvas, using mainly a palette knife, with thick application, bold strokes, painterly detail and rich colors.

The palette knife gives my art a unique combination of contrast, fluidity, depth, texture and impact. I do not typically use a brush, as I prefer the way I can mix buttery paints and smear them on my canvas with a flexible metal blade. The amazing thick texture achieved with the knife reflects the light more than a regular brush painting and gives a beautiful sense of movement, with subtle highlights.

I am originally from New Zealand, where the beauty of nature is unsurpassed. Although I now live in the USA, the luminescent beauty of my homeland stays with me and I feel it in every stroke. I try to reflect this in my work and invite you to enjoy it as I do.
