I work with acrylic paints on canvas and ink and gouache on paper.

My work reflects, in part, the experience of growing up in Papua New Guinea surrounded by the country's natural beauty and by traditional Melanesian art and culture.

At that time in the 1970s there was no TV in PNG so going to the movies was a big event. The myth and imagery of Hollywood had an impact on me. I also made Super 8 films.

In PNG I became interested in culture and later studied Anthropology at university. I have lived in 7 different cultures.

The marks, images and motifs in my work are an attempt to communicate a feeling about all this experience.

I make art for people who revel in cultural diversity and who are enlivened by the psychological power of art, in all its form.

My collectors are people who love being surrounded by art that resonates with them and who have the confidence to trust their own judgment and taste.

In my shop you will find original works as well as printed products.
