Following is a small selection of my art.

Doorstep Wonders 

A lot of my art is what I find on my doorstep. No two days are alike and there is always something new to see. During Covid when getting out and about was limited, I took the time to delve into what was in my own yard and encourage everyone to just get outside, feel the earth beneath your feet and take a moment to delve into the world around us. This collection is inspired by this time during covid and was presented at an Excio Photography event. 

Painterly 

I love the beautiful paint effect and here I have the smooth and dreamy effect that transforms these images.

Nature portraiture

This collection emphasizes nature-themed portraits, harnessing light to spotlight the subjects and unveil the profound beauty inherent in their vibrant colours and intricate forms.


This is a part of my final portfolio for my studies at SIT.

New Zealand Camera 2023

I was honoured to have an image selected for the 2023 New Zealand Camera book. 

New Zealand Camera is the flagship publication showcasing a collection of outstanding photographic images from members of the Photographic Society of New Zealand. From landscapes to wildlife, plants to people, sports and creative imagery. To have one’s work selected and published in New Zealand Camera is a privilege and honour, such is the competition and high standard of imagery presented. 

The 2023 publication, which saw a record number of entries, is a fine example of the world class photography being produced by members of the Society.
