Photography- Painting - Workshops

North Canterbury

I’m a North Canterbury-based photographer and artist with over 25 years of experience. My work spans photography, acrylic painting and creative workshops — all driven by interpreting the feeling of place rather than simply recording it.

Photography Gallery

A large crater filled with clear water and glowing blue light, surrounded by rocky terrain and small buildings in the foreground.

A serene evening scene with a cloudy sky, silhouetted trees, and a shoreline with scattered rocks and driftwood.

A landscape with a building with a door and vents on a hill, pink and purple sky above, and pink grass in the foreground.

Old yellow house with peeling walls, a red metal roof, and a small window at the bottom, with some bricks and moss on the chimneys.

Close-up of aging, weathered, peeling paint on wooden surface, with cracks and patches revealing underlying wood and multiple layers of paint in shades of orange, red, and purple.

Moss-covered rock cliff face reflected in calm water.

Three people standing on a hill at sunset, facing away, with a cloudy sky and warm light in the background.

Harvested wheat field with tractor in the distance during sunset.

Dense forest with tall trees, mostly leafless, and green foliage on a hillside.

Experience

Thirty years ago I bought a film camera. This led me on a journey I am grateful for — one that now spans photography, acrylic painting and teaching creative workshops. My work is inspired by a connection to the landscape and the feeling of place, I love helping others discover their own creativity.
