I have drawn since a child, and have exhibited here and there over the years. I chose not to undertake formal art training, preferring instead to seek out and develop my own pathway(s) of creative expression. However some artistic influences include Van Gogh, Nicholas Roerich, Rei Hamon, J. Chaffey, H. Rust and D. R. Yanakopulos, as well as my experience of life in Aotearoa.<br />
I have travelled widely in NZ, before heading north to put down roots at Moirai, Waipoua Forest. Here, alongside Diane, my work continues to flourish, with a variety of themes being explored, from natural history illustration of native forest scenes and dusk to dawn landscapes to historic churches...<br />

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Since the earliest periods of pictorial creative expression, artists have explored the use of naturally-occurring pigments, in particular those derived from crushed soils and mineral oxides, ash and plant extracts. Of those substances derived from the ground, the use of such pigments as paint (when combined with natural oils) to create coloured artworks reinforces, and enhances, the connection between artist and the Earth itself, the source of all around us.</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Northland is a wonderful hunting ground for earth pigments! In particular the Hokianga area, with the combination of complex geology and high rainfall contributing to a variety of rich-coloured, severly weathered rocks and derived clay soils ideal for paint-making</span>. see<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> my article in<b> NZ</b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b> Artist magazine Dec</b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b> 2014</b>.</span></span></span></span> </div>

The bus arrived with 28 children plus teachers and other kaitiaki on board from Hokianga's own HOREKE SCHOOL' The day was stunning.. Brilliant sunshine with a gentle breeze. Everyone was excited. Wow - coming to visit a homebased working art studio and meet the artists! When they arrived there were several art easels set up with various paintings so that different styles, mediums and textures could be discussed. There was a vast range of subjects covered, but the most important message was that we wanted to encourage each and every child to be proud of whom they are! This was a really special visit and we sent each of the children away with their own Postcard of an image of one of our original paintings to show and share and to hold onto memories of their visit to the magical kingdom of Moirai! Go well, Horeke School.. always aim to do and be your BEST!!! Thanks to the teachers and those whom made this visit possible. It was very special for us, also! <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Purua School, Northland, organized a visit to the Moirai Studio as part of their children's holiday camp experience. </span> </span>Visiting the Waipoua Kauri Forest was part of their schedule and with the Moirai Studio just nearby, it was an opportunity to incorporate creative art learning as well.<br />
<br />
Our brief was for the children to meet real artists and to encourage a spontaneous art class in our studio. <br />
We were delighted as the children asked so many questions relating to our techniques and details within our paintings with a genuine interest. This then enthused them to concentrate on their own wonderful drawings which were so individual and with so much care and talent!!!<br />
Thanks to Purua School, Mrs. Moselen, and other adults whom accompanied the children.<br />
You can all feel proud of yourselves ~ and may you always retain your love of nature and art!<br />

Pearls of wisdom are found in special places when working in harmony with nature, and each other ... rare moments, time for reflection and contemplation, on the artists journey. <br />
