I am a photo artist based in Tasman near Nelson and I have a special connection with the natural landscape and places of New Zealand.
My images reveal a beauty unique to these islands and I am incredibly grateful to call this country my home.

 

My work is in Galleries in across New Zealand and my art has sold to buyers as far away as the United Kingdom.
My three entries in the 2007 Nelson Regional Art Awards were voted First, Third and Fourth in the people’s choice section.
I am regularly featured as the photoartist in Wild Tomato Magazine with my images in January, April, July and August in 2008.

 

These are a few of the validations I have received from artists, art buyers, gallery managers and publishers:

 

“On a personal note I thought the attached photograph was wonderful.I look forward to seeing more of your work.”
Sam Fairclough - Art Consultant. The lodge at Paratiho Farms.

 

“Wow Basil, those images are amazing! I'm sure they'll go well for you. Stunning!”

“Hi Basil,
Just wanted to thank you for arranging to have the copy of the Wild Tomato magazine sent to us. The Suspension Bridge looks great - as it does on our wall.”

“These images are great Basil. I will certainly be using your art again in the near future”

Basil. Your three entries in the Nelson Regional Art Awards 2007 were voted First, Third and Fourth in the people’s choice category. Congratulations!”
