"Moon dance" Painting

Each of these Images can be experienced alone and in the same time stands as an example for different streams of my artistic and philosophical research and interests.

I am exploring the visible surface and the unknown interior of the reality around me with the intention to release pearls or to raise questions. My interest is to challenge and/or please sensory perceptions, communicate with and through the unknown ....

I worked for many years as a self-taught Studio Artist and created work
in many dimensions and media. Inspired by artist Len lye "I create work in 2D, two and a half D, 3D and three and a half D". I used technology, a wide variety of methods or just single concepts to express Ideas and feelings

In 2008 I decided to test and challenge and expand my foundation with a 'tertiary university art education', which I successfully completed with a Master Degree in Fine Arts from Massey University in 2014. Experimental videos created during my study years you can find at my Vimeo site: https://vimeo.com/user11940949


-- In my artistic career I have created carved objects, jewellery, sculpture, Installations, large scale photography and painting exhibitions, video, multimedia pieces and video installation.
One highlight was the winning the prestigious National Sculpture Award 2009 in Jade and Hard Stone Carving.
