Heaven to Earth
I had such fun with textures and colours in this work. Being a natural realist painter I find special enjoyment beginning a work with little idea of what it will look like when finished. the final touches with the gold paint gave the work that special glow.
The Cross 1
This abstract work is the first of my “Cross” series. As a realist at heart I found it helpful to start with a shape so I chose a cross as a focal point. I will be producing more works in this series using different colours and techniques.
City in the Red 2
The Way Through
This represents the twists and turns we often make before we break through to our freedom. The dark blues and purples at the top of the painting speak of the hardest time which can often come before the breakthrough. The splashes of orange, green, magenta and gold...

Universe – In His Hands
This is the first of a series. I personally marvel at the stars and the universe. It displays the awesome handiwork of our creator God. It has a cross in the work as a reminder that God has the universe and His whole creation in His hands.
Christchurch Cathedral – There is Hope
Christchurch’s beautiful cathedral was badly damaged in an earthquake, including losing it’s steeple. It is hoped the cathedral will be rebuilt. I was inspired to portray the cathedral in an artwork showing the damaged cathedral and a rebuilt cathedral. I wanted to...
I am the Door
Hope for Christchurch
When I heard about the earthquake in Christchurch I had a desire to create an image of hope. To me the cathedral is symbolic of the whole city so this work is a metaphor of the rebuilding of Christchurch. I chose the words of the National Anthem as a backdrop to this...
