What a fantastic time meeting new people and making art in Aotea Square last weekend. The sun was shining and the vibes were excellent. Thank you to all of the art enthusiasts who stopped by the event. Keep a look out for more to come!
There is something quite primal making art in public. Hard to beat the feeling! 
This painting has a whole lot of things going on! Im hoping the viewer completes this work with their own imagination. Are those small people talking on a hilltop? Are those small animals creeping through the forest? What you find is up to you.
This painting is currently at Art by The Sea Gallery in Takapana, Auckland New Zealand. If you are in the neighbourhood, please drop by to say hello!
Painting from nature is something that I absolutely love! The clouds moving overhead, the multitude of leaves glistening in the sunlight. And best of all, the sounds of millions of small water-droplets combined together to form a moving waterfall. This painting was inspired by Karekare waterfall on the west coast of Auckland. If you haven’t been please put it on the list.

Drawing with pencil has been round since the late 18th century. The modern graphite pencil was invented by Nicolas -Jacques Conte by mixing powdered graphite with clay. What a legend! Here are a couple of small recent pencil works.

If you are in Auckland this Saturday stop by and have a look at some amazing art at Eden Park. Art in the Park is an annual event with loads of great artists. Around 630 pm there is a free “Art Battle” at the same venue. This is my first time taking part and cant wait to give it a go!

This is an earlier painting ( from 2015) looking at people as planets or small micro organisms.
A mass of individuals making up the whole.

This painting is slightly surreal and a little bit whimsical. It shows a cross section of the Earth with fallopian tubes. Above the horizon is a living cell. Has it just come from the earth…or going in? I have left this piece quite ambiguous so that the viewing can decide for themselves.

Thank goodness for winter! It gives us a chance to enjoy those amazing cloud formations and moody skies. I personally think that nature displays some of the best art around! This painting is a tribute to this vivid display.

Thank goodness we are all so different! More than 8 billion souls floating around the solar system. All of the different languages, belief systems and ways of doing everyday things. I believe diversity gives us strength.

This is an earlier commissioned painting depicting the fresh, cool green waters from the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island.
There is a lotus flower symbolising new life and hope. A stylised surfboard leaves a flowing pattern which runs over the black sand and
swell lines. The Sun has just come up and creates its own pattern and reflections on the wave.
