The Kakapo (Strigops habroptila) - kaka means parrot and po means night - is a cheeky and inquisitive bird native only to New Zealand. Sinbad the Kakapo lives on Codfish Island; when a friend was there at night, he climbed onto her head to check her out, then perched on her foot and finally performed a dance. This curiosity and lack of fear is part of the reason they are critically endangered. But all is not lost: there are now just over 200 birds on record, up from a low of 51 in 1995. This drawing is called “Ghost of the Forest” and it pays homage to these special birds who are no longer prolific, and reflects on our collective actions in making them so. Sinbad holds a pounamu (greenstone necklace) - an infinity Koru which symbolises the weaving together of different threads and the creation of a new synergy.

Drawing since 2008, my artworks tend to be very detailed images of animals; usually a close-up where you can see an expression which draws you in. Mostly self-taught, but with a basic background of tertiary design from Wellington School of Design in 1993, My mediums are predominately fine coloured pen, coloured pencil and acrylic on paper. I am deeply inspired by music, and each peice is named after a song and is also wrapped up in the story of the moment that Im is capturing. In 2015, I was asked to exhibit for the New Zealand hosting of the Art in Embassies Exhibition at Camperdown, the United States Residency, in Wellington. My artwork, entitled 'Wearing The Inside Out' portrays the famous Manukura, the White Kiwi. My drawing of a morepork, entitled “Sister Moon” won the People’s Choice Award at the Aratoi Museum of Art in February 2016.
