Welcome to my website. My passion for art took off in the year 2000 while attending a ‘life drawing’ summer workshop in Kurow and I haven’t looked back. Originally trained in photolithography, these skills have been superseded by digital technologies and so, when looking for a new direction and making the decision to attend art school, I found myself gravitating to the Print Studio.

I love all things to do with Print, however my art practice also includes sculpture, charcoal making, photography and curating. My research relates to the human impact on the environment and I look for experimental methods of art making with sustainability and recycling in mind. I also enjoy working on collaborative and custom print projects that engages with the printmaking community.

I live on a 25 hectare farm with regenerating native bush in the beautiful coastal settlement of Pūrākaunui in Otago, NZ. I am currently the Print Studio (aka Print Laboratory) coordinator and a senior lecturer at the Dunedin School of Art, I curate the Otago Polytechnic Art Collection and have various administrator roles in the Dunedin School of Art.
