"The House Cow" located on Thames Street (outside ANZ Bank).
When Darryl and Lynn asked me to come up with a concept that shows their family and business lives, I jumped at another opportunity to create a design for the Morrinsville Herd of Cows? project. They have achieved a lot and I wanted to show this with a cow full of black and white illustrations of the houses they have built and the Houghton family adventures.
After my first painted cow in 2018 I wanted to join the herd again! I first met Darryl at Morrinsville College when we played rugby together in 1984 and I want to help Darryl and Lynn leave a positive mark in the town by painting a cow.
I have over 25 years experience as a graphic designer, illustrator and mixed media artist. My company Riverstone Design Studio was formed in 2002 after the end of my professional rugby career.

The House Cow is a reflection of who we are and what we do. Family, time together and legacy are all very important to us. It takes a village to raise a family. Morrinsville is an awesome village. We may build houses and facilitate mortgages but houses becoming homes is where real value is found.
