I am a realism oil painter living in Christchurch with my wife, Daniella, and two young boys, Leo and James.
 

I was a teacher for nearly 20 years with a significant portion of my career dedicated to teaching Art at International Schools in South Africa and Hong Kong. Since returning to Christchurch in 2022, I have devoted myself to painting full-time, focusing on the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand. My fondness for the Arthurs Pass area in Canterbury, which I explored during my youth, is evident in much of my work.

My artistic style revolves around landscapes featuring a prominent light source and a captivating atmosphere. My goal is to convey the intricate textures and minute details in a way that allows the viewer to not only see the scene but also experience it. Whether depicting a crisp morning or a sunny afternoon, I strive to transport the viewer into the paintings, making the viewer feel as though they are present in the moment.​
