Hang In There

Christ’s Sake
2004 Acrylic on canvas W610 x H920 $2800.00 NZD Another crucifixion scene highlighting the robber on the cross next to Christ. Many hand studies and drawings were created in the process of creating this. This is my first attempts at creating a semi realistic or detailed painting.
The Gate
2003 Acrylic on un-stretched canvas W1560 x H895 $1640.00 NZD This work was hugely inspired by the great New Zealand artist, Colin McCahon.

2003 Acrylic on un-stretched calico W5700 x H1890 Private Collection After a year at art school building my confidence in painting large murals on calico, I took to creating a three part work featuring Christ the crucifix.

Hell’s Heaven
2003 Acrylic on un-stretched calico W1890 x H2015 Private Collection This work is one of my first large paintings on unstretched calico. It depicts the vision of hell with a little slice of heaven in it. The green tree is a symbol of hope in an otherwise vast and destroyed landscape.
Hand of God
2003 Acrylic on canvas W506 x H506 Sold I’ve always been fascinated with drawing hands. They’re one thing that I can do. I saw an image similar to this that inspired me to create this painting.
