  • 520 x 840 mm Acrylic on raw linen and canvas 2023 I actually made this picture back in 2020 but it wasn't until now - 2023 that I could see that I needed something simple on The Thames as I had copied parts of John Rocque's 1746 map of London and nothing of the Thames River itself. So I have inserted 'Uber' boats going up and down to fit with my theme of old and new London. This work is for sale at 850 pounds UK ($ 
  • 500 x 300 mm Acrylic on sewn raw linen and canvas 2023 I feel this work is very successful in that it really does represent 'new' London and 'old'. With a street security camera adjacent to the famous replication of John Rocque's map from 1746. This work is for sale at 500 UK pounds (NZ $1000)
  • 520 x 840 mm Acrylic on sewn raw linen and canvas and varnish. 2023 This Church is the oldest church in London. I often bike past it and the image of the crane, the Shard, and the steeple got me thinking about this series: combining present day images and using the famous map of  London by John Rocque from 1746 as a reference point. This work is for sale at 900 pounds (NZ $1800)
  • 1540 x 255 mm Acrylic on sewn raw linen and canvas 2020 This work is like a ladder, using the famous John Rocque's map of 1746 I have copied the streets that were exactly in Brick Lane at the time the map was made and incorporated todays Pakistan reference to the street names with a contemporary image of one of the street lamps.  This work is for sale at 950 UK pounds. ($1900 NZ)
  • 500 x 1750 mm  Acrylic on Canvas & Linen 2020 Located in the East End's Spitalfeilds area, Petticoat Lane is one of the oldest and most famous markets in London. Using John Rocque's map of London from 1746 I superimpose the old street names into the jigsaw of sewn up bits of linen and canvas. I then bring the art work into a contemporary context by inserting into the main street (which is now no longer in existence), the everyday 'sale' signs that visually emblazon the lively market area of today. This work is for sale at 1800 UK Pounds ( $ 3,600 NZ)
  • Watercolour and Gouache on paper Signed 2021 680w x 495h There are over 100,000 working ships in on the seas. They carry nearly everything we eat, wear and use. They are the reason behind your cheap T-shirt and reasonably priced T.V. The world largest port, Shanghai’s Yangshan Deep Water Port in China handles 40 million containers a year. The World’s largest ship, ‘Ever Ace’ can carry 23,992 containers. Her sister ship, ‘Ever Given’, grounded last year in the Suez Canal causing global supply chain blockages. The recent pandemic has shown us how vulnerable our supply chains are with border restrictions, social distancing and factory closures, all leading to soaring freights rates and contributing to our present-day inflation. Containment, in simple terms, is the action of keeping something under control or within limits. In Psychological terms, Containment is an aspect of resilience and refers to the capacity of internally managing troubling thoughts, feelings and behaviors that arise as a consequence of stress.  This series of artworks has evolved over the last two years. The whirling, fluid, and splatter aspects of my work refers to the Covid plague, how it spreads and of my emotions from days of being confined in ‘Lockdown’. These works could be considered as an historical commentary of ‘Our Place’ as we climb out of our emotionally contained boxes and venture again into everyday life.
  • Watercolour and Gouache on paper Signed 2021 710w x 475h   It was during the “Lock Down” of Covid19 that I started painting from the collection of photographs, that I have recorded for the past several years of the container arrangements down at the Mount Yacht Club looking across the water to the Portside of Tauranga. Whether you like them or not, these are iconic visual trademarks of our local landscape. As a local artist, my objective is to demonstrate with this exhibition; work based on my observations of the containers, which are in a sense - visual arrangements of colour in both structure, pattern and form. Whilst I was ‘contained’ in my parents’ home, I began to contemplate whilst painting these squares of colour, how we were all confined to our spatial boxes with our emotions. I began to see the compositions as communities of people all contained in our own confined spaces and so the concept of containment expanded. Parallels can be drawn from a series I did 20 years ago based on the typical corrugated iron farm shed with the colourful arrangements of patch working. Therefore, I can state that a relationship of colour and pattern and their organization on the landscape provides a creative impetus for me to paint something so ordinary into something beautiful.
