Art has always been a part of my life. Growing up in England, I was drawn to painting from an early age and later pursued watercolour studies at the Fellowship of Artists in Mt Eden, Auckland. I was fortunate to learn from inspiring tutors including Ben Ho, Tony Blair, and Paul Coney.

A friend introduced me to silk painting, which soon became another passion. Over time, I began sharing my knowledge of both watercolour and silk techniques with others. More recently, I’ve explored collage — a playful, liberating way to reimagine and reuse earlier works.

I divide my time between Auckland and Pauanui, where I continue to paint and create. I warmly invite you to visit my studio and see my work in person.
