ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Vic Elford / Denny Hulme Porsche 917 leads the Ferrari 512S of Chris Amon / Arturo Merzario during the very wet BOAC 1000km at Brands Hatch in 1970. Although these cars led at the start, they were no match for Pedro Rodriguez driving another 917, the fiery mexican blitzing the field and winning by five laps!

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to check out my artwork, and learn a little bit about me. I was born in 1982, in Invercarcargill, the deep south of New Zealand. I grew up surrounded by motorsport, the family home just a couple of minutes' drive to Teretonga - the local race circuit, with speedway, Go - Kart and motorcross tracks all within a stones' throw. My father raced Go - Karts in his early years, before taking up Midget car racing at speedway, and there was usually motorsport on the tv at the weekends when I wasn't watching it in the flesh. I started painting with water paints when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Simple stick figures soon evolved to more complex pictures using arcrylics, as I started to experiment with abstract art as well as keeping my hand in with painting racing cars. In 1999 I started racing Go-Karts, and the lack of available time, as well as other interests meant that only a few artworks were completed between '99 and 2006. A couple of years after leaving school I started studying to become an engineer, becoming qualified in 2006. It was after this, that I was gifted some un-needed art supplies, re-igniting my creative flame The first few works I created in this period were all abstract, as I experimented with different shapes and colours. One of them being "Losing time". I put it on display in a Christchurch art gallery, where it was quickly snapped up by a collector, thus fuelling my passion. After that success, I decided to be selfish and reward myself by getting back into motorsport art. I painted "Master McLaren" and showed a few people, and had such an encouraging response, I decided to do more. Since then on the majority of my work has been motorsport based.
