About Me

I am a full-time artist based in Tahekeroa, just north of Auckland, where I’m surrounded by native bush and the rich birdlife of Aotearoa New Zealand. This deep connection to nature sits at the heart of my work and continually inspires my creative journey.

​

Working primarily in acrylic, I love exploring colour, shape, and texture. My process often begins with an abstract background, allowing layers to build intuitively before I introduce touches of realism. The result is a collection of paintings that feel vibrant, expressive, and gently whimsical—inviting viewers to experience the natural world through a more playful and imaginative lens.
