The Island Acrylic on canvas, 705 x 1010 mm Reflection Children have an instinct adults often lose: they believe there is always something worth discovering beyond the next bend. In this painting, the island is both destination and invitation. It represents the places we cannot possess, only explore. The parent and child drift together across still water, sharing not only a journey but a way of seeing. The greatest inheritance we can give is not certainty, but curiosity. Part of Sacred Ordinary , this work celebrates wonder as something learned through companionship. Poem We crossed no great ocean, only a quiet stretch of water. Yet somewhere between the shore and the trees, the world became larger, and so did we. Some journeys measure distance in wonder.

Some places just hold your memories for you. Whangarei Harbour is one of those for me - I've sailed these waters for years, and this one came out of a trip with my Dad not long ago to watch the Tuesday night races. Boats out on the water, the light going soft over the hills, Dad beside me. I wanted to keep all of it. So this painting is really a little love letter to those evenings - the fun, the calm, the easy happiness of being out there together. Description Media: Acrylic on stretched canvas, ready to hang Size: 16 x 20” / 40.64x50.8cm, 3/4" inch edge The harbour's gentle curves sit cradled by that mountain range we all know so well, the water still and quiet. I painted it in complementary colours that sit happily side by side, so the whole thing feels restful - the kind of scene that slows your breathing a little when you look at it. Maybe it's the coastal charm that pulls you in, or maybe you've got your own harbour memories tucked away. Either way, it brings a bit of that timeless, peaceful beauty home with you.

Harakeke Negative is an unframed original linocut print, printed in a limited edition of 10. Harakeke flower stalks feel like such an iconic part of Northland’s landscape. For some reason they remind me of a menorah, and I imagine them being carried by the priest of an animist religion. Printed using oil-based ink and individually burnished by hand on acid-free Japanese washi paper (68gsm). Each print is signed and numbered. Print measures 15 x 23 cm and is printed on an A4 sheet (21 x 29.7cm) Owing to the manual nature of the printmaking process, there will be minor variations between prints. This print ships in a clear polypropylene resealable bag and backed by thick acid-free card.

A dramatic view of Mt Cook's snow-covered peak rising behind a massive dark rocky ridge. Snow and mist spill down the distant slopes, while patches of green meadow brighten the valley below. The pale sky and soft, muted colours give the scene a cool, remote atmosphere

Inner Thoughts is a minefield of fragements of meaning. Scattered, explosive markings on a dark canvas perplex our understanding of its shattered messages. I think it reads: Torn and faded memories, broken promises, emotional breakdowns, dusty and abandoned dreams, unwelcome invasions of world views, worn out excuses, recipes for disaster, and misfiled facts and figures. One of a series of works from LOST in TRANSLATION


An organic seed pod from the queen palm ( Syagrus ) collected from the side of the road - mounted vertically to add colour and interest to a corner - either hung or to lean against a wall.

Size (h w d): 80 cm x 80 cm x 5 cm Materials : Acrylics on cut and sewn canvas with wire inserts. Hanging : Ready to hang, on hooks or flat head nails (hanging info sheet and hooks provided). I’m loving the tones of Jacaranda Pods. Seeds themselves are, for me, the ultimate vessel for life. Seeds are “where it all starts”, a complete store of all the information needed to engender growth toward full realisation of the individual. Seeds as a vessel, conjure for me an image or form encapsulating potential, abundance and vitality. (Inventory 20221)

Impressionist painting of shimmering fish in the foreground, yet shadowed fish barely visible behind and amongst the seaweed.

Threshold Acrylic on canvas, 905 x 1250 mm $800 Reflection Every child eventually reaches a place where another step must be taken alone. The sea offers no guarantees. It is beautiful, unpredictable and endlessly changing. To stand beside a child as they face it is an act of trust. The figures are intentionally anonymous because the moment belongs to all of us: the quiet passing on of courage from one generation to the next. Part of Sacred Ordinary , Threshold reflects on the extraordinary significance hidden within ordinary moments of guidance and love. Poem The waves were never ours to command. Only to enter. One hand lets go, another reaches forward, and somewhere between them wonder becomes courage.

Golden Hour at the Bay There's a moment, right as the sun lifts over the water, when everything goes gold and the whole coast seems to hold its breath. That's the moment I chased onto this canvas - turquoise waves catching the first light, the sky warming up in soft pinks and blush. An original acrylic painting that brings a little calm, a little joy, and a whole lot of colour into your home. Made for the ones who feel most themselves with sand underfoot and sea air in their lungs. Description Media: Acrylic on stretched canvas, ready to hang Size: 24 x 36” / 61x91.5cm, 1.5" inch edge First Light Over Paradise isn’t just a painting – it’s a feeling. It started with a sunrise at the Bay of Islands. I was standing at the water's edge, the horizon just starting to glow, and the whole sky kind of cracked open into colour. The waves lit up. And I had that feeling - the one where the day ahead suddenly seems full of good things. That's what I wanted to keep. Not just the view, but the lift it gives you. It's a bit like a morning hug from nature, hanging on your wall - a quiet daily nudge that life really is beautiful, and there's always more good coming. Pop it in the living room, the bedroom, wherever you start your day, and your wall becomes a little window back to the shore.

A cluster of slender trees stands in silhouette along the edge of a calm body of water. The sky glows with bands of yellow, orange, pink, and pale turquoise, suggesting the first light of morning, while the water reflects a soft lavender hue. Dark, gently layered land fills the foreground, making the bright horizon and delicate tree shapes stand out. The scene feels still and spacious.
