Over the Hills
Six decades of hard-edged painting — paddocks, baches, tin sheds and the long blue ridges of the New Zealand landscape, rendered in flat, deliberate colour.
Hard-edged style
Crisp shapes, flat planes and unwavering colour — a signature look developed over sixty years of practice.
Acrylics & oils
From wide rural landscapes to surreal compositions, each work is painted by hand in the Napier studio.
Collected worldwide
Works held in private collections across New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the USA and Europe.
