As an American artist, I've focused my creative efforts on portraying familiar things in a new light to people that experience them every day. I moved to Wellington, New Zealand, because it is representative of the great cultural and ecological treasure called Earth, and therefore presents even more of a creative opportunity. New Zealand has so much to offer the world in the way of unique and undiscovered elements to enrich art, literature, and film. I hope to incorporate these remarkable things into a series of illustrations that appeal to Kiwis of all ages and introduce foreign people to concepts of New Zealand.
