Bio
I am currently in my third and final year of a Bachelor of Design degree in Photography at ARA in Christchurch.
I was born in Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand, 1978. Over the past 22 years I have worked with a variety of mediums & materials including; painted paper cut-outs, fabric collages, abstract expressionism paintings and now Wax Mixed Media using my original black and white Christchurch Photography.
I have been exploring Wax Mixed Media for nearly two years. This mixed media gives my photography an added element of depth and texture. I use a combination of my photography, encaustic medium, cold wax and oil paint. All works are original, one of a kind pieces of art.
