I have spent my working life in design and art related pursuits. In my early years I designed, manufactured and retailed leather goods in areas as diverse as furniture, footwear and fashion. This was followed by a wrought iron business which transitioned into design consulting, and a project management company. Concurrent with this I sculpted and painted in various mediums, exhibiting over a 40-year period.

Since retiring in 2009 I have been enjoying a leisurely life of projects, painting, travelling and enjoying my extended family. I paint in a variety of medium finding it limiting to stick to one genre or method, and exhibit in galleries throughout NZ. I find subject matter from all over: and could count too many influences to elaborate.
