Location and lifestyle changes have bought these artworks together as I relocate my focus from the city to our new home in Taranaki.
Back to the region of land and sea, has opened doors into rooms of new ideas and old techniques.
A sense of homecoming like the native birds that surround the areas I paint. They are like street signs that subconsciously name the location.
Like an old song.
