Grant has a diploma with honours from The Learning Connnection and has been dedicated to his professional practice as an artist for more than 25 years. Grant has been invloved in the arts in Golden Bay since 2006, he was Chair of the Golden Bay Arts Council from 2006 - 2016; during this time the Arts Council started Art Bank in the historical BNZ building. Five years later, after a restructure, Grant started a new gallery in the same space (Art Vault Takaka) which, as well as finding Grant's latest creations, has been successfully supporting local artists with membership, solo, group and nationally touring exhibitions, the space continues to evolve.
I am a practicing artist working with medium sized stones including hard stone such as marble and serpentine, soft stone including limestone, and wood - using chainsaw and power tools and combining the two mediums to create unique art.
