About me
I am an artist from Whakatāne, Aotearoa New Zealand, now living and working on Gundungurra and Darug Country, also known as the Blue Mountains, NSW.
I am a Pākehā New Zealander, descendant from Scottish, English and Dutch post-war migrants to Aotearoa, New Zealand.
I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country and recognise their continuing connections to land, waters and sky. I recognise that their wisdom, culture, and stewardship have sustained the wellbeing of this place for millennia.
I am very grateful to be a guest on this Country for a little while, and I am trying to be a good gentle guest while I am here.
For the past decade, my practice has engaged with landscape, skies, spirituality, iconography, and poetry. Working through an intuitive and reflective process,
I create pieces that move between personal inner exploration and shared human experience.
My work is grounded in the environments I encounter, shaped by geology, architecture, colour, and atmosphere, while also reaching into the unseen and the imaginative, where the spiritual and the poetic intersect.

Small fire, my hand
Landslide Gallery
3 August - 18 August, 2024
Local artists Byron Kinnaird and Bryden Williams pair up for ‘Small fire, my hand’ - a new collection of works on linen, board and paper using charcoal, pitch and pastel. Kinnaird and Williams’ work gives shape to a material imaginary, where the tangible emerges from the ephemeral, and the sublime meets with the elemental.
