Welcome!
Let me tell you my story
Loving the mountains
Raised in the warm tropics of Norfolk and Christmas Islands, my new home is in New Zealand, not far away from the mountains. Currently a rock climbing instructor based in Dunedin, the Southern Alps provide a natural playground while at the same time giving me all the inspiration I need to paint landscapes.
