My paintings have a strong distinctive style, combining colour, texture, layering and linework.

I graduated from Sydney College of the Arts and immediately started a lifelong career as an artist beginning as a photojournalist, including the Americas Cup, pottery, glass work and painting.

My current works includes a new series called Simple Chaos, expressing the combination of our busy lives with the simplicity of slowing down expressed through colour and line.

I am still experimenting further with the comforting elements of mid-century style and a return to the simplicity of the ocean, a combination of urban, ocean and landscapes impressions.

Chris Todter is the partner of Sally Samins. He has created a small range of LED mood lighting that is a fusion of his engineering background and organic shapes. They are an artistic example of 3D printing that enables limited edition designs.

I exhibit in New Zealand and USA.
