Sobre el Artista


I am a visual artist living in Christchurch, New Zealand with my wife, daughter, two canines Rubie and Merlin and three chickens. My art style is in realism when working with pastel, where as my watercolours are fast and loose with expressionism and movement. I am passionate about many things, however nature and the celtic shamanic path is my journey and has been since I was a child. I am grateful to many including those who are our daily teachers and don't realise that they are the teachers and to many others including my ancestors. In particular my late father "Harry" who introduced me to the world of nature and art in it's entirety. Over the years I have grown to understand, love and become part of the beautiful earth, our mother. I am the maker of the Southern Spirit Healing Drum. This circle of drums has returned me to a place I had previously been earlier in my life as a drummer /musician. I enjoy playing and to dance to the tune of life's energy and rhythms! Peace and Blessings
