About

Kia ora!
I’m an all traditional medium Artist, travelled from Australia and now based in sunny Whāngarei, Aotearoa New Zealand.
I teach others, run group workshops for Non-clinical Art Therapy sessions, and create artworks that hold space for one’s emotions.
My practice is influenced by people’s stories, nature’s beauty, as well as personal experiences in life. Recently I’ve started producing oil paintings with the use of aromatic Dōterra essential oils, to promote wellbeing and relaxation.
Each piece I design aims to capture fleeting moments of beauty and introspection, engaging senses, inviting viewers to find their own meaning within the layers of paint and in experience of textured brushstrokes.
I’m passionate sharing my work, offering my knowledge, and connecting with people through their stories.
