About

I’m a middle-aged Kiwi guy finding my way in art and faith.

I became a Christian in my early teens but didn’t start painting till 2019, when I was 46.

Before that, I’d thought of myself as a words guy. It was a bit of a surprise, then, to find myself wanting to paint. But, looking back, there’s been a strong creative thread throughout my life, so maybe it shouldn’t have been.

Here, you’ll find me:

  • Sharing new (and old) work. You can see some examples here.
  • Writing about process, progress, and influences.
  • Wrestling with what it means to be an artist and a Christian.
  • Sharing quotes, links, and other bits and pieces that I find helpful, thought-provoking, or inspiring.
  • Taking occasional detours into other parts of my life.
