Raised in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, it was at Hutt valley High School where Ponder first discovered he had a talent for art. However it was not until he was in his early thirties that he took up painting professionally. Mike was a founding member of the very successful ‘5 Artists’ group and has assisted and encouraged new artists through tutoring night classes and weekend schools.

His paintings are bold, full of texture and colour, sometimes delicate with amazing detail and always with a touch of red – they are painted with knives only. Mike believes that his unique and individual style is due to being self taught, and he comes from an artistic family with his brother Richard also a well-known professional painter in Wellington. Ponder has also produced three books of his art, ‘Textured Colour’, ‘My Way – A Touch of Red’ and ‘Oil on Canvas’ showing examples of his artworks in both oils and water colours.
