The gallery is a loose, non linear collection of works that I have undertaken simply because something about the subject has interested me.

Leanne
40 x 60 cm

2015
artist collection
Leanne is a powerful force in my life, she is my wife and she is my muse.
Creating a portrait can be a hazardous occupation, the natural movements of your hand and eye transfer to the possibility of features being too big or small and a loss of the likeness, and maybe also the client. So, I was taking my life in my hands when I asked my wife to pose for me...

From my myth paintings were I relate western legends from a New Zealand perspective. This Medusa isn't hideous but poised, and instead of snakes, she has endangered longfin eels.

Farmer Bloore
74 x 115 cm
oil on canvas
2014
This portrait won the 2014 peoples' choice award at the Adam Portrait Awards in Wellington. The exhibition had over 12,000 visitors anda selection toured all over New Zealand in 2014.
Terry grew up on a farm in Otorohanga and has allowed me free access over the years to study, take notes and photograph his daily farm life. Much of the reference for my paintings was derived from these visits. He is a good keen man that is overflowing with information about rural life in New Zealand and he is also, like many of these types, a fairly private individual. I wanted to capture a portrait of someone that wasn't completely comfortable with having that much scrutiny focused upon them and attempted to expose a little of that discomfort in the work.
