About the Artist
I have recently moved to Herne Bay, Auckland from Horokiwi in Wellington.My art is a means of communicating my inner being, passion and desire to understand, to consider the bigger questions of our existence, purpose, motivation and energy. I paint in Acrylics and Oils and sculpt in many mediums including combinations and have been involved in sculpture for many years having started in Butter and Ice. I am currently pursuing a study on the effect of “context” and the relevance of time, energy environment association etc on our lives and the way we view objects. I remember writing how this seems to effect the way we process thought, the decisions we then act on, which in turn effects the journey our life takes when explaining my “Emotions” series and this is equally relevant to these current works.My Art mentor and good friend is Mary Archibald an Artist and Teacher whom I have learnt so much from. - Mark Collins
