Introduction	I was described at school as having an 'extremely sensitive eye", excelled with top marks in Art and Photography and gained national recognition. I continued my studies in Graphic Design at Auckland Technical Institute. For the last 8 years I've been working full time as a contemporary realist painter, continuously developing my style. My inspirations evolve through the energy and emotion of the present and from my inner spirit, in which I endeavour to portray positive messages of calm and personal growth to envelope and inspire. New Zealand's natural forms, textures and culture are a continued appearance in my work. 2011 sees the introduction of the human figure with my birds creating storylines with messages of growth. Being very aware of the earth, the universe, and my environment, concerns regarding conservation and preservation of New Zealand’s indigenous species have become a strong occurrence in my recent themes. My work sells throughout New Zealand and overseas. I am a published artist who can be found in ‘New Zealand’s Favourite Artists 2’ by Denis Robinson.
