LANDSCAPES
Welcome to my landscape page, this is a relatively new area for me, as I usually paint animals but am finding that land and seascapes allow me far more freedom than the constraints of a portrait.
Although I now live in Australia, New Zealand remains very dear to me, and is an artists paradise, with so many different moods, some of my work is based on my NZ experiences.
This is the start of a new journey for me, as I am more known for my animal work, but have taken great joy in painting what remains very sentimental to me.
