A keen watercolour artist and photographer based in Wellington. I have been fortunate to be
invited to exhibit my photographic work in New Zealand and internationally in Ireland as a
finalist twice in the ESG Environmental Photographic Exhibition, in Bergerac, France and in
Xiamen, China as a member of the Wellington Photographic Society. My photograph Yachting on
Wellington Harbour is published in David Colquhouns Alexander Turnbull Library 2011 publication
of Wellingtonians.
I am a recipient of the Gordon Harris Innovation in Watercolour Award for Rain over Somes Island
at the 2015 Watercolour New Zealand Splash exhibition at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts,
Wellington, where I am a regular exhibitor. This painting was also a published work in Tui Motu
Interislands November 2016. Other awards include a Merit Award for Cat on a Tin Roof and Best
Watercolour Landscape Award at the 2017 Kapiti Artshow for Sunrise over Coromandel Sleeping
Giant. This work also won the Peoples Popular Choice award at the 2017 Artists Watercolour
Exhibition, Lower Hutt Odlins Gallery, Lower Hutt.

My passion for the environment and New Zealand outdoors created another interest for me. I love
painting en plein air landscape and seascape painting where I can share my love of the outdoors
through the watercolour medium. I paint what I feel and enjoy looking at and being part of this
medium in the most satisfying way I can.
