Keith Morant has been a painter for over fifty years and while he had some initial training, he has always followed his own path of non-compromising abstraction.
He lives and works in New Zealand but travels regularly to exhibit in America and Europe. Recent years have seen his work impact on the global art scene and he has been honoured with many International art awards.
