    Hello there,

    I'm a painter living in Omata, Taranaki with my family. 
    Together we run Roebuck Farm, a working heritage seed garden.

    From the Black Barn at Roebuck Farm, Jodi & I run workshops on organic vegetable growing, managing your lifestyle block and art classes for kids.

    And from this barn I also paint!

    Tune in here to keep in touch with projects we are involved with.
