UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
I was born in the deep south, Tuatapere, gateway to Fiordland.
I grew up among some stunning scenery but it wasn’t really until I
travelled the world that I saw just how special it was.
WOOLSTON
Bumper to Bumper repairs
I am a Christchurch based, self-taught artist painting semi-abstract
landscapes that are earthy and textural. My paintings are inspired
by New Zealand landscape, particularly Central Otago, Mackenzie
Country and Canterbury.
My works are descriptive of landforms shaped by both natural
forces and man. Weathering, erosion and human activity lead to an
ever-changing terrain.
There is often a touch of both flora and water in my paintings that
allude to the idea of the land sustaining life.
The paintings have layers of colour and texture through
which I chisel, scrape, eliminate, add back and interact
with the painting to reveal the essence of a landscape.

I hope painting our NZ landscape may encourage the
viewer to recognise the beauty of the land and to feel
responsibility for looking after it.
