"My art reflects a deep appreciation for the stories held in structures that have seen better days - buildings that stand as quiet witnesses to the past..."

I’m a New Zealand-based artist living in the Waikato, working primarily with fine liners and watercolour washes. I try to preserve the fading architectural heritage in ink, capturing not only the physical forms but the atmospheres and histories that surround them.

Whether it’s a forgotten barn slumped in a paddock, or a crooked fence clinging to a hillside, my work preserves the poetry of decay and celebrates the unique charm of old sheds, weathered farmhouses, and the winding, rickety fences that crisscross the countryside.

Line and wash is a captivating art style that combines the precision of detailed pen work with the softness and spontaneity of watercolour. Intricate ink lines define the structure, form, and texture of a subject, while washes of colour bring it to life with depth, atmosphere, and emotion. This blend of control and fluidity creates artwork that feels both refined and expressive - perfect for capturing architecture, landscapes, botanical studies, and everyday scenes with charm.
