Alan is well-known throughout New Zealand and abroad as a major artist. He consistently produces a wide-ranging variety of scenes and images which often defy logic as well as challenge the viewer’s perceptions. His unique position in the art world derives from the startling ideas conceived from the ‘disbelieving element of the unexpected’ – and these he has in abundance as you will see.

His works have surprised many who have perhaps only been used to the older and traditional uses and styles of watercolour. Bold striking colours and stunning compositions will startle the first-time viewer with their daring concepts.

Although Alan sometimes uses acrylic, he is widely recognised for his mastery of that beautiful but elusive medium, watercolour.
