Living in New Zealand has brought new inspiration to my love of landscape. I live surrounded by the magnificence of the wild west coast of the north island with its black sand beaches and volcanic mountain ranges gemmed with its waterfalls and last remaining ancient trees.

My recent work strives to accentuate the natural elements of the coastline, expressing the moods of the ever changing weather and highlighting the flora in all its naive grandure.

It is my aim to inspire the onlooker into a greater appreciation for the natural wonders that exist around our everyday lives yet so easily are neglected of acknowledgement or taken for granted. It is important for people to stay connected to nature and remove the devides that are created by our busy lives, and the immersion into the stresses, oblgations, and demands of the urban environment.

It is rejuvinating and theraputic to the human spirit to engage in our natural surroundings, and enjoy the beauty that the world has to share with us.
