"The main message I want to communicate to viewers is the dramatic beauty of the natural environment, from the serenity of my grandparent’s garden to the vastness of the Rangitata Gorge. By using multi-layers and different types of brushstrokes, I am trying to convey emotion and draw the viewer into the scene.
I live on a farm in the vast expanse of the visual patchwork that makes up the Canterbury plains, surrounded by many different crops and colours. It has given me a unique appreciation of everything that makes up the natural environment around us. I also enjoy exploring the vast outdoors, going hunting in the high country which has inspired many of my pieces."
