My favourite subject at school without a doubt was art. It wasn’t until fairly recently that I decided to get the paint brushes out again. Since that moment I haven't looked back and put both my passions together to paint some of New Zealand's most gorgeous golfing landscapes.
As a teenager I just couldn’t wait to get to the golf course, whether it was after school or during the holidays. I can never forget the evenings with the golden light and long shadows, when the course seemed almost empty. This was such a special, almost spiritual feeling. Every time I paint these golf landscapes, those feelings come flooding back.
Looking forward, I can’t wait to keep developing my skills as an artist and paint some of the most iconic New Zealand golf courses. I would love to hear from you. If you are interested in my artwork, please feel free to drop me a message.
