About The Artwork

In the early 60's Ford wanted to win the most prestigious road race - the Le Mans 24 hours. Ferrari had a stranglehold on the event, so Ford attempted to buy out the Italian firm. The deal would be Ford would run works Ferrari's under the name Ford-Ferrari, and the road going Italian classics would be Ferrari-Ford. The deal was all but signed when Enzo Ferrari suddenly got cold feet, and backed out. Ford were furious, and embarked on an expensive multi-million dollar GT build project, culminating in the legendary GT40. Here in 1966, driving a GT MkII we see Kiwi Bruce McLaren (driving with compatriot Chris Amon) on their way to the first of four-in-a-row wins for the American auto giant. The Fords would crush Ferrari and record a 1-2-3 finish at the end (a story within itself). Chasing hard behind, on the short blast from Indianapolis to Arnage, is the lone Chaparral 2D of Jo Bonnier and Phil Hill, and a works entered Ferrari 330P3 of Lorenzo Bandini and Jean Guichet, of which both cars retired.

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.
