In 2007, our family moved to New Zealand for six months. We lived in Kerikeri, a coastal town on the Bay of Islands in the northern part of the north island.  My primary focus while there was to get out and paint the remarkable landscape. This body of work took a bit more representational direction as I felt compelled to document as well as interpret what I found so compelling.
