I am a lawyer by training and an artist by inclination.
I was born in the UK and moved to New Zealand via Africa when in my teens. I had wanted to do art, but my family insisted on a 'proper job', so I worked hard and went to University.
After I qualified, I practised law in government in Wellington, tramping the high country of Central NZ at weekends and holidays to keep my sanity, and creating, exhibiting and selling art in my spare time.
I now live in the Far North, on my family's 10 acre lifestyle block, which I love. Over the years it has been an inspiration to me. so I'm at last concentrating on getting on with my life's passion - art.
