Water is the life force of all living things on this planet.
All Artwork available online and at the gallery
An exhibition of images and objects all having connection with water.
Boats were made to travel and explore this life force and to this day we still enjoy all activities associated with our largest resource.
We are challenged, calmed and energised by water.
We have an amazingly enriched birdlife because of water.
Let us continue to enjoy the beauty and wonder of all forms of this amazing resource

Bio
I have always been involved with colour and was trained as a “colour matcher “ in my early employment. It was inevitable then that I turned to “Art” as my favourite activity when I finally granted myself the time to enjoy life, when moving to the Bay of Islands.
My first dabble with paints was oils and although I enjoyed this medium, I found constraints in portability, and time requirements. When I moved onto watercolours, I was amazed at the difference in the action of the paint but felt inhibited by the restrictions this style of painting placed upon me. Now I have made my way to acrylics I revel in the science involved in learning about the mediums, techniques and application. I am also using oils again as new mediums are evolving so I can immerse myself in a different style of painting and thoroughly enjoy the journey of creativity with more diversity.
I am inspired by an image that “touches” me and so I hope to create a painting, which in turn evokes the same emotion in the viewer. My images are usually taken from the natural landscape, flora and fauna and bird life, being an artist who has to “feel” the subject before and during the process of painting it. Some of my works can take months to complete as I work with all shapes and sizes of background, applying great attention to detail in most.
I also enjoy working with and changing the outside canvas or board shape to create an interesting outline for the painting itself. Many times, I have used -which I am then rejuvenating, recycling and creating an artwork from.
I continue to evolve as I absolutely thrive on finding solutions to creating the right finish, texture, or result I wish to achieve.
An incredibly rewarding pastime!!!
