This cheeky little number Blue Laws 2026 is on view in my exhibition Postscript.

The porous looking surface is created by whipping the paint to capture air bubbles in it and then quickly setting the surface so the air is imprisoned as the paint hardens. The surface is then "worked" to allow the result to express itself.

The show runs until July 18th, go and take a look now and maybe even a second look later, go for it, I know you want to!

This work Stealth Bomber 2026 is 30 x 30cm and is in my exhibition Postscript on view until July 18th. It happily sits on a wall about 10 metres long on its own and just eats any light that comes near it. Quite surprising how it does that.

Since it is Saturday the gallery is open from 12 - 3pm today.

Favourite time of the year when the morning sun hits this window just right...

Koan II a work in my exhibition Postscript on view

30 x 30cm in size it breaks the plane and draws you in. The gallery is open 12 - 3pm today.

The official opening of the exhibition is next Thursday 21st 5.30 - 7.30pm. See you there!

One of my personal favoutites on view in my exhibition Postscript currently open at

Titled Pure Light 2026 it challenges thinking about chromatic beauty. It's not a large piece but it holds space. The gallery is open this Saturday from 12 - 3pm.

My exhibition Postscript is open for viewing from today with the official opening to be held on Thursday May 21st from 5.30 to 7.30pm.

Included in this exhibition is the 6 metre work Gabielle, created during my residency in 2025. A select few have seen it in person, many have only seen it in images. I would love to have as many people see it while it is on display as possible as it’s a work I had to dig really really really deep to produce. It’s described on the gallery website as “two by six metres of extraordinary physical presence that is simultaneously monument and material record” Translated… it’s a “painting” that weighs about 200kg!

My solo exhibition Postscript opens for viewing from next Wednesday 13th May

The official opening event is set for Thursday 21st May. This exhibition contains 2 works created during my McCahon residency last year including the 6 metre work Gabrielle. As well as that large piece, the 12 panel 1.2 x 3 metre (total size) work White Phoenix pictured here was also created during the residency. It's exciting for me to see it on a wall for the first time instead of being laid out on the floor.

There are recent works created this year and a couple that were completed in 2024 and 2025 that felt they need a little bit more juice and were reworked more recently.

It's an exhibition I am really pleased with and the layout of the gallery rooms lets a journey unfold.

This image is part of the poster project to mark 20 years of the Parehuia residency. 17 artists have posters made of their work which is digitally printed in A2 size on 200gsm Arcoprint.

Available for purchase at their booth on level 2 or on their estore. All proceeds go towards the ongoing running of the residency so it's a good cause.
