Sean is a realism oil painter who lives in Christchurch with his wife, Daniella, and two young boys, Leo and James.

He was a teacher for nearly 20 years with a significant portion of his career dedicated to teaching Art at International Schools in South Africa and Hong Kong. Since returning to Christchurch in 2022, Sean has devoted himself to painting full-time, focusing on the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand. His fondness for the Arthurs Pass area in Canterbury, where he explored during his youth, is evident in his work.

Sean’s artistic style revolves around landscapes featuring a prominent light source and a captivating atmosphere. His goal is to convey the intricate textures and minute details in a way that allows the viewer to not only see the scene but also experience it. Whether depicting a crisp morning or a sunny afternoon, Sean strives to transport viewers into his paintings, making them feel as though they are present in the moment.
