About Me

I am a student.
Currently studying for the BA/BTeach at Victoria University, Wellington.
I am in my last year of study.

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.

Painting Statement 2007

"Art reflects the world around us. It is for that reason that I create. I do not see my art as paint on canvas, but a revelation into a new way of seeing things. Through my art I hope to seek out these truths which have since been forgotten and display it in a way which people can relate to. Art crosses the boundaries from real world to the imagination, a connection that many of us wish to see, but never able to recreate."

- Al Ingham (2007)

Painting Statement 2005

"I've lived in Lower Hutt all my life. I've traveled into Wellington every day since high school and so the harbor and its surrounding landscape has a huge influence on my work. I've been painting for about four years.
This work [Idealistic Series, 2004] brings up issues about all New Zealanders and how, if we are to be united, some rules have to be broken; and this then becomes idealistic."

- Al Ingham, CrossOver Exhibtion, 2005
