I experiment with a variety of media ranging from drawing, porcelain painting, some ceramic sculpture, printmaking and painting. I have also been working with oils exploring colour and texture. My studio is open most days from about 10 am to about 4 30 pm. If the closed sign is out you are welcome to ring me on 304 8785 or 027 6228832 . I am situated on 211 Beach road, Akaroa, 5 minutes walk from the Akaroa light house.
