Studio Journal
My journal is much more than a diary—it’s a record of my creative journey, helping you understand why a painting exists, why I chose to work on this at this time and not just how it was made.
From time to time, I will share my thoughts, struggles, and successes in this journal.

Three days work. A day designing then another two actually painting this beautiful song bird.
This is my first in a collection inspired by my māori connections and a tribute to my Uncles, Aunties, cousins, and whanau.

My latest painting is inspired again by the very talented photographer Sue Henley. A big thank you to Sue for encouraging me to paint this from one of her beautiful images.
