About Me

I am an Auckland based portrait artist, I work in my home studio on the North Shore.

I have been painting for the past 20 years and best known for my large format  bird portraits.  My paintings and  limited edition art prints are affordable to everyone, with a range of price points. My style is realistic and  detailed , whilst giving the subject character and personality with a painterly twist on realism.

I began by painting grand scale portraits of women inspired by the work of the renowned Italian photographer, Paolo Roversi. A phone call to his “Studio Luca” in Paris, requesting the right to copy his pictures brought the affirmative yes, “no one has ever asked me that before”.

During my artistic career I have explored a range of subject themes in addition to NZ native birds,  such as portraits of people, animal portraits, and flower paintings

Inspired after travelling to the East. My love of detail, colour, and passion for creating beauty gives me a great sense of achievement.

Old Masters Studies

The art of the old masters and Pre-Raphaelites has always captivated me. I practiced technique by replicating their masterpieces.
