Artist Statement:
I am a self taught artist and
have painted since I was a
young child.
I am 28 and live in New
Zealand, I have three young
children, so paint mainly at
nighttime!
I have been mainly focused on
painting portraits since I was
16, recently I have branched
out into a less traditional
sense of the portrait, perhaps
more symbolistic and a tad
surreal.
I never plan my paintings,
preferring to just grab a
blank canvas, load up some
paints, chuck on some music
and paint whatever comes to
mind.They seldom turn out how
I envisage them! But it is a
surrendering to the
unconscious thats generally
proves the most worthwhile.
I started exhibiting my works
in Christchurch when I was 17.
Since then I have exhibited
in several group shows
throughout christchurch, I
have also exhibited in Nelson
and been part of a travelling
exhibition in 1998 from
christchurch to Waiheke island
to Sydney, Australia.
I have also exhibited in cafes
throughout Nelson and
Christchurch, and completed a
mural for the Nelson plunket
rooms as well as other
commissioned portrait pieces.
Acrylics have always been my
preferred medium, although I
have dabbled in oils,
watercolours, gouache etc...
