I am a full time professional artist working from my home studio and gallery beside the Brook Stream, 5 minutes from Nelson city centre. I enjoy the vibrancy of colour, and painting is a wonderful excuse to play with shapes, colours and textures on the canvas surface. It's the juxtaposition and resonance of colour that I really enjoy...light and vibration.
Gabriele Munter, Monet, Kandinsky, Gustav Klimt, Doris Lusk and Toss Woollaston have all influenced my work. Each artist has taken me through experimental paths of exploration.
In 1993 I graduated from Nelson Institute of Technology with a Certificate in Art and Design and Diploma in Visual Arts, majoring in sculpture and jewellery. I have been finalist in the New Zealand Wearable Art Awards, multiple finalist in the Telecom Artawards, winner of the Yellow Pages Arts Scholarship in 2003, and have had work selected for exhibitions nationally. In Oct 2006 I was published in “Favourite New Zealand Artists” with 59 other artists and featured in “New Zealand – A Painted Country” (Nov 2007)
I have outlets around New Zealand, exhibited for a time at Eclipse Gallery in Hitchin, England and ‘Gallery at The Wentworth’ in Sydney. I have work in collections world - wide. Travel to Greece, Spain, England, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia and around New Zealand, has inspired my landscape painting. I am influenced by different cultures and the effect humans have on the landscape and environment, sometimes avoiding any reference to human habitation and looking for nature in its purist sense, other times enjoying the interaction.
My current paintings celebrate life, nature and spirit using colour in a passionately expressive way. The images evolve with an energy and life which seems to come from somewhere else through me and explode onto the canvas. Painting from the heart - Creating in its purist form. |
