Nelson based Fine Art Photography

I seek out beauty in otherwise ordinary and mundane places, from rotten old boats in the harbour to rusty caravans and flaking paint. My photography shows neglected and overlooked objects and environments have hidden beauty and reveal rich and interesting stories of the past.

I have a love of vibrant colours and textures and my art shows a uniquely serendipitous and understated view of New Zealand’s past.

A range of photographic prints are available to purchase both unframed and framed by me here in my studio.

Dazzle

A commission for a client in Wanaka looking for something vibrant and abstract to transform the new living space. This piece captures the detail on an oxidised corrugated fence in Okarito on the West Coast.

The title ‘Dazzle’ is a reference to Dazzle Ships that had their hull’s painted in geometric designs during World War II in an attempt to confuse their attackers. I found the patterns in the image reminiscent of this.

Modern wooden sideboard with white top and angled legs against a plain white wall, decorated with a colorful abstract art piece framed in white hung above, and books and magazines placed on and inside the sideboard.
A modern living room with a white wall, a framed botanical print, a white table with books and a small plant, and a gray ottoman. In the background, there is a brick wall, a black leather couch, large windows letting in natural light, and some potted plants.

Arid Delta

I came across this giant agave plant during a walk through Toi Toi in Nelson. The specimen was rather old and battered looking, but the leaves revealed some fascinating detail. The result has traits of a dry river bed or the roots of a mangrove tree.

This piece was a commission for a client in Dunedin. Their converted warehouse home proved a great fit for this artwork, providing them with some natural colour and an interesting talking point.
