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 drawing practice has explored personal and collective representations of landscape, skies, spirituality, iconography and poetry.
While my work draws so much from the environment, geology, colour and atmospheres of places that I experience, they also wander off into other territory too, the unseen, maybe spiritual, maybe magical parts of the world too.

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.
