'My landscape work attempts to capture the raw natural beauty and distinct character of Central Otago through expressive, impassioned brushwork and vibrant, descriptive colour. From a distance my work should provide imposing scenes, but up close they are more arresting: oil paint has been applied with variety, energy and certainty with each brush stroke having a compelling autonomy.'
