Having graduated with honours in Painting from the University of Otago in 1987, my artistic journey has taken me to diverse locations across the globe. Throughout my career, I have lived and exhibited my artwork in New Zealand, London, Jakarta, Hong Kong, and Seoul. After spending seven amazing years in Seoul, where I had the opportunity to exhibit at the Seoul Arts Center, I have recently relocated and now reside in Hong Kong, where I passionately pursue my art and prepare for upcoming exhibitions.

Being based in Hong Kong has opened doors to an array of inspiring opportunities within the international art scene. Additionally, my extensive travels throughout Europe and Asia provide me with a wealth of ideas and inspiration for my artworks.

Beyond my artistic practice, I am also passionate about art education. I currently work in the Visual Arts Department at one of the leading International IB schools in Asia. As an educator, my teaching philosophy is deeply rooted in my personal goal of being a lifelong learner,
constantly honing my craft, evolving my pedagogy, and establishing meaningful connections with my students. I strive to mentor individuals to become risk-takers and creative entrepreneurs, encouraging them to explore new possibilities in their artistic endeavours.

While I currently reside in Hong Kong, I proudly consider myself a New Zealand artist. Despite my geographical location, my artistic identity remains deeply rooted in my New Zealand heritage and influences. Throughout my career, I have embraced opportunities to exhibit and engage with the global art community, transcending borders and showcasing my work across various international platforms.
