$2,200.00The western sunset here at Te Henga, (Bethells Beach), produces striking purples, peaches, oranges and yellows and hence why this image was chosen for this print. Light is reflected off the water and headlands and creates very different tones to those seen at every other time of day.Print c...

.00My print was created from an image taken whilst on a photo expedition at Mangawhai Beach on the East Coast about an hour out of Auckland. It was very early in the day and I spent a couple of hours at the beach often up to my knees in the water trying to capture what was simply an amazing morning...

.00The print was created from a photo taken whilst driving up the Road, looking back towards Queenstown. I have tried to capture the feeling I had at that moment of space and distance. I wanted people who looked at it to feel the warmth of the morning sun yet somehow at the same time the coolness o...

.00The Ta’Akoka- Muri Lagoon print is from an image that was taken in Muri Lagoon in Rarotonga. This painting was about capturing the amazing colours of Rarotonga; and displaying the beautiful Lagoon reef and the water though which you see it. What I like about this – is that the calmness o...

.00based on an image taken from Black Rock on the northwestern side of Rarotonga. It captures a special sunset from a place known for amazing sunsets and stunning cloud formations. One thing I really like about this is how the colours of the sunset reflect back in the dark water of the Lagoon. I sp...

$1,650.00The print is from an image taken at Omaha 50 minutes north of Auckland. An image from the same series as the Omaha Sunrise print.

$1,100.00- Limited Edition Giclee PrintFor this painting, I wanted to capture the energy and beauty of such an iconic New Zealand beach. I was drawn to the way the reflection looked on the dark sand and I liked how the waves would draw up the beach.Print comes unframed and is 1118mm x 862mm which in...

$1,100.00 I have a strong affinity with the beaches along the Tutukaka Coastline. The beauty of Matapouri and its double headland are a favourite of many others as well. The stunning beach enclosed within the headlands makes it slightly more sheltered than its northern sisters and an easy choice to ...

$1,100.00 Hot Water Beach on the Coromandel has a steep bank which often creates strong dumping wave formations which I love to paint. It is another glorious beach better known for the hot water springs in the sand closer to its southern end.Print comes unframed and is 1118mm x 892mm which includes ...

$1,100.00I captured this painting on a glorious winter day before the crowds arrived. The water was clear and contrasts well with the shade of the rock. I knew when taking these images that they would be awesome to paint from.Print comes unframed and is 1118mm x 892mm which includes a white border a...

$1,100.00 The Mount beach is one of the country’s most popular and for good reason. Many will recognise Mauao (The Mount) but I was drawn to the area around, the less recognisable, (to some), Moturiki Island in this painting. The see-through waves and dappled sand were a beautiful calm change ...

$1,100.00This painting was created from an image of about an hour and a half north of Auckland. I was drawn to the calmness of the day and the clean lines of the small surf coming in. I was also interested in the way the water gets shallower and shallower until it connects with the sand in the foreg...

$1,100.00Tairua is another popular New Zealand spot and for good reason. This image captures the line of the wave down to Mount Paku and Motuhoa Island out to the East on a beautiful day.Print comes unframed and is 1118mm x 892mm which includes a white border around each edge.Prints are rolled in ti...

$1,350.00This image was one of the best I took on this series of sunrise shots at Tawharanui. Painting the gradient of colours in the foreground sand and waves was a real challenge as the colour palette goes from quite dark to very light.Print comes unframed and is 1300mm x 700mm which includes a 50...

$1,100.00I was drawn to this image as it has five stages of each wave shown in it. Forming, cresting, breaking, coming in and one fading into the sand. A classic sunny day at.Print comes unframed and is 1118mm x 892mm which includes a white border around each edge.Prints are rolled in tissue paper a...

$1,100.00I chose this image to paint because for me it captured the raw, moody drama of the west coast. I liked how early morning sunlight paints the clouds in bright peaches, pinks and yellows. I also really enjoy how the shallow sand pools reflect all the colours of the sky but in darker tones.Pri...

$1,100.00The wave that intersects the painting here separates the detail of the clear water and sand below in the foreground and the land mass at the background. It creates a sense of anticipation that you are standing in the water waiting for the wave to crash.Print comes unframed and is 1118mm x 8...

$1,100.00I have painted Tawharanui quite a few times, but I never tire of it. It’s probably my favourite beach and It has endless possibilities for different compositions and colours. This image I’ve been wanting to paint for quite a while, I always enjoy painting rocks that you can see abov...

$1,350.00 The sky is the feature here showing pinks, peaches, and yellows in contrast to the blues and whites. The photo for this painting was taken in the spring in the early morning.Print comes unframed and is 1360mm x 1017mm which includes a 150mm white border around each edge.Prints are rolled i...

$1,100.00 I love how the shadow casts a contrast between the warm sunlit hills and the cooler valley in shadow. The flecks of snow are also in contrast with the sunlit tussock grass, this puts in perspective that this is a pass going over a mountain saddle.Print comes unframed and is 1120mm x 905mm ...

$1,750.00in the Fiordland National Park is found on the Routeburn Track – one of the Great Walks in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Hikers will either meet it on their first or third day on this iconic walk. We arrived at in the afternoon after a big day’s walk and were in awe of it’s beauty. It wa...

$1,100.00The image for this painting was taken on a beautiful summers’ day. I feel this painting gives the feeling that you are standing in the water and invites the viewer to dive in. Yellowy greens and baby blues here, give this painting a happy vibe.Print comes unframed and is 1118mm x 782mm wh...

$1,100.00Standing in the water, looking south towards mount Paku has enabled me to give a sense of the essence of Tairua beach. The beauty is evident as is the power of the waves, where you see the churning soft foamy water in the foreground with the next wave in the set ready to break in the mid gr...

$1,100.00Pauanui is a popular beach- and for good reason- this image was taken on a beautiful early March morning.
