I am a visual artist traveling the path of core shamanism. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand with my wife, daughter, two canines Rubie and Merlin and three (unnamed) chickens. The earthquakes (over 8,000) we have experienced her in Christchurch during the past 17 months have realised the need for a re focus on life in general and to also attempt to move my art to another level. My style is in realism when working with pastel, where as my watercolours are in a fast and loose style of expression and movement. I hope you enjoy your visit and I welcome your comments.
