About
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about me!
Below you will find information about the approach I take to my work, along with information about where I exhibit, my memberships, and the causes I support.
My approach
I have a varied approach to my work. I love many styles and mediums and my messages are more important than using the same approach to my work. My favourite medium is using oil paint, as I love the layering of colours to create depth. I use a medium gel which enables me to clean my brushes in water.
Some of my paintings are based on what I see in the natural environment, and I often use my imagination to depict the story.
I also love to celebrate nature, and I get a great deal of pleasure from painting nature in all forms. Colour plays a powerful role in my work, and I use both analogous and complementary colours as a means of expression.
Where I exhibit
You will find all of my available paintings and prints on my website to purchase. If you are purchasing from outside of New Zealand, please contact me for a shipping price.
My artworks are exhibited in galleries including The Captains Quarter in Akaroa, Mcatamney Gallery in Geraldine, and in Zealandia and Pukaha Wildlife Sanctuaries. I also exhibit in a number of art shows around New Zealand. You can find out where my paintings are showing by clicking here.
I also exhibit internationally through Saatchi Art in the USA.
The exhibitions and awards I am particularly proud of include exhibiting work in The Garzoni Challenge, curated by the Uffizi Gallery in Italy; receiving four excellence awards through Manhattan Arts International, New York (wow, wow, wow!), and being a finalist in several shows including Craigs Aspiring Art Prize, the Wellington Regional Arts Review, and receiving a Special Recognition Award in the “All Women" Art Exhibition in Santa Fe.
