Since 2009, I have been pioneering a unique technique, blending pigments with epoxy polymer—a method not widely adopted by New Zealand artists then. This approach showcases my skill and innovative spirit and my dedication to reshaping traditional art boundaries to produce distinctive fine art.
In the 'Solar Seduction' series I create a realm of tranquility, infinity, and cosmic connection through my innovative techniques and masterful use of vibrant hues. My abstract compositions seamlessly blend pigment with epoxy polymer on circular substrates, unveiling a luminous beauty and depth. My artwork captures the essence of light, colour, and emotion. Rooted in moments of deep meditation, my creations beckon viewers on an introspective journey where light and shadow illuminate the complexities of the human experience. Recognised as a finalist in prestigious awards such as New Zealand's Parkin Drawing Prize and NZ Painting and Printmaking Award, my works grace esteemed collections like The Arts House Trust Collection. My classic fine art print collection of iconic NZ Animals, NZ Birds, NZ Flora and Fauna, and Wanaka Landscapes are meticulously detailed celebrations of nature's beauty. Education in fine art and design shaped my path, leading to roles in teaching and directing art programs, while pursuing commissions. I have been a professional artist since 2000. |
