The Debut Life of Al Ingham Scroll Down

Welcome to my site!

I am a teacher.
Currently relieving, but looking for a full time job.

I am an artist. Though more specifically a painter, just so I don't get lumped in with those people who use art as an excuse for stupidity.

I am a web-designer. Every now and then I pull out the laptop and write a few hundred lines of code.

I am a Christian. A Christ follower. Enough said.

About Art...

I am a Lower Hutt painter working out of home. I exhibit only a few times a year due to lack of time with the other things in my life.

I'm currently working through a couple of series. One is my Black cube series which is a body of work focussed around direct drawing of the landscape, with a heavy influence of the Maori language and New Zealand.
; The other body of work is a return to the old way of painting I used to do, looking still and landscapes but in a more realistic sense.

If you would like to purchase a piece, please contact me via the contacts page. Likewise if you would like me to paint a commission, arrangements can be made.

About Photography...

Photography has been a minor passion in my life. It merely fills the place of the sketch book as an artist.
Through many experimentations and trial and errors, I have been able to forge a certain artistic style into my own photography - making them more than just photos - be it through using effects on the camera or enhancement with the computer.

About my Sites...

I have been designing websites since 2002. Admittedly they didn't start of great or superb examples of good design, but they fueled an interest. Over the years I have built up experience and knowledge in Flash, but more so now in PHP. Lately I have been getting into using CMS (Content Management Systems) to run the back end of a site.

I have begun to build an archive of some of the applications I have built for websites. You can find these with examples at my Web Development page.

If you would like to know more, or would like me to design a site for you, please get in contact with me.
