About/Contact
A Lawyer by training but an Artist by Inclination.
I was born in the UK and moved to New Zealand via Africa when in my teens. I had wanted to do art, but my family insisted on a ‘proper job’, so I worked hard and went to University.
After I qualified, I practised law in government in Wellington, tramping the high country of Central NZ at weekends and holidays to keep my sanity, and creating, exhibiting and selling art in my spare time. Here is the place to check out my Wilderness Art.
I now live in the Far North of New Zealand. My dad died prematurely in 1985, and rather than sell the family property, which I love, I gave up a good job and moved into the country, stepping into his shoes on a 10 acre lifestyle block with a big house that he and my mom had been half way through building themselves when he got sick He said we would have to sell it after he died. Well, we hired a builder and got the house pretty much finished so we could live here – but that’s another story.
Sadly, my mom was overtaken by Alzheimers not long after I’d started a small graphic design and desktop publishing business in our nearest small town. That forced another change in my plans.
For the next 10 years I looked after her sole charge, until she passed away early in 2007. There were some dark times in those years, but thankfully I had the Internet. Driven by the knowledge that I just had to find a way to earn from home, I used my graphics skills to freelance on the net, and in 2004 Cagora became one of my main clients, as well as being my favorite place – a venue where I could make some good friends and without leaving my mother’s side I could feel useful in the world. That’s important when you have become “the carer”.
Check out my Portfolios to see some of the many graphics projects I’ve been involved with in the course of this journey.

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is more than just a fine line! it’s like the difference between a lightning bug and the lightning!
Hi. I do not know whether it is too much to say, but this site is really well designed.
Although there is no matter, would you please inform, who designed this website?
Don’t you publish some writings which critise you? You didn’t publish my critics upon your blog.
It’s quite hard to find a good site. And I think I am lucky enough to have come here. The posts are doing great and full of good insights. I could be glad to keep on coming back here to check for updates!
To tell you the teuth, I was passing around and come across your site. It is wonderful. I mean as a content and design. I added you to my list and decided to spent the rest of the weekend browsing. Well done!
brilliantly insightful post. If only it was as easy to implement some of the solutions as it was to scan and nod my head at each of your points
Appears it is fairly active on this site
It’s comfy enough to lean over, but I would not name it perfect by any means. If you’re a taller person, you’d need to let your body fall onto it and it will hold your hips up, but you can’t simply lean over it like you would for doggy style. It works outstanding for holding up your hips for things like doggy style since it helps support the weight so it’s more comfortable.
Appears to be fairly energetic around here
Thank you for taking the time to write this! Mucho.
Im just getting started down this highway, the journey goes to be lengthy, however my goal is 2 years to have a whole time earnings on-line and to give you the chance spend extra time with my household instead of going for a 9 to 5 job..

Thanks a ton on your time and efforts to have put this stuff together on this blog. Marie and i furthermore very much appreciated your suggestions by way of the articles about these important things. I am acutely aware that you just simply have a lot of calls for your time so the fact that a person such as you took each of the time like you did to guide individuals for instance us via this text is also highly valued. I was keen to subscribe to your RSS feed. But unfortunately it by no means appear to be working for me. Am I the just one with this problem? Iwill visit after a day or so to check. Anyhow thanks a great deal once more on your good read.
Seriously is brilliant! I personally really enjoy reading your blog posts and articles everytime I get your own feed alarm.
now that was interesting. this is making me tired
State of the art rhinoplasty involves over just leading out muscle to reduce the size of a particular person’s nostril. A properly done rhinoplasty must be accomplished by a surgeon who should make sure the nose as it is remade can blend with the patient’s other facial features instead of simply changing the nose to a desired model.
mostly good, but some were not. not hilarious, but it is real
Very Nice website. I just finished mine and i was looking for some ideas and your website gave me some. The website was developed by you?
Cheers
Most of the times i visit a blog I see that the construction is poor and the writting bad.On the other hand,I have to say that you have done a good job here.
Hey, i think you visited my website so here i am!.I am looking for ways to add things to my website!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!!
Hi, i think that i saw you visited my blog so here i am!.I am trying to find things to improve my blog!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!!
When i visit a blog, chances are that I notice that most blogs are amateurish. Regarding your blog,I could honestly say that you writting is decent and your website solid.
It sure is interestng, I hope I know that before.
I truly don’t understand why anyone would disagree with that. I think that sounds like it is something to appear more closely at. I feel sometimes alot of individuals can be pretty narrow minded when it comes that. Nicely thats all for now, appear forward to more post and information.. Talk to you men later. “As in life, Chill for greatest results”
