The freedom to roam our hugely diverse expanses of land and marvel at its natural wonders is a huge privilege. As a nature lover and photographer I value this ability highly and for 40 years I have enjoyed exploring New Zealand intensively, by road, boat, plane and on foot, often camping out in the most amazing scenes for the most awesome moments.

Over the last 13 years, I have developed my own methods to hunt out the specialness of our land, interpret its beauty and drama, and portray it with my style of large mural photography and computer art.

AT LARGE is a mere peep into the land and my wanderings. More, it celebrates an amazing land, and everyone’s’ freedom to see and experience it.

Notes on the REVENGE Exhibition Prints

*The prints are numbered as an open edition and additional prints may be produced in any form by the artist for any future use. The exhibition prints were the firsts of the Revenge Series. Additional copies of these art works may be ordered from the Artist and in other sizes and materials by arrangement.

The exhibition art works were printed by Ben Marsden of Ken’s Imaging, Christchurch on Sihl 340gsm canvas in collaboration with me.

I am also appreciative of funding from the Community Arts Council which assisted Gallery rental costs.
