Born in Central Hawke's Bay, New Zealand; I moved to Melbourne Australia in February 2008 to pursue my art career.

My home doubles as my studio and the walls are covered in my artworks and photographs. Art is my life.

My fur baby Tigs keeps me company while I paint, and helps by attacking my paintbrushes

I wouldn't be able to tell you when I "started painting", all I can say is that I never stopped from when I started as a small child. I have finally cemented my artistic style after years of experimenting. While I still experiment regularly all of my works now have the same under-current.

I am constantly inspired by everything around me and my favourite subjects are the landscapes of Hawke's Bay and other places I've been to, and of course wine and coffee.
