Paint and Woodblock Artist


“Since 1992 I have produced many hundreds of artworks in a variety of media, which
have been purchased for private collections in New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Europe
and America. Now I am concentrating on Painting and Woodblock Print, especially focussed on developing exciting detailed images using the Japanese printing technique.
My work continues the themes I developed in the last twenty years: being human, dualities, and the sublimation of problems through a connection to beauty.”
