Kiwi Artist
"I am a figurative and landscape artist based in Northland producing work in both oils and soft pastels.

I studied Art and Design full time at Auckland Technical Institute, then took up a scholarship at Auckland Society of Arts majoring in painting. I have won awards in national and international art competitions and in 2020 was juried an associate member of the Pastel Society of America.
My aim is to create beautiful reminders to prioritise the moments that give the lift we need to nourish our spirits. Moments of awe in the landscape, moments of connection, special quiet moments of reflection and moments celebrating big leaps of faith - all points to remember and treasure. Creating art helps me process my thoughts, sharing it and connecting with others is the reward.

This exhibition “Finding Refuge in Light” is a collection of pieces produced from processing my little part of the communal stress we have been sharing. Getting through each day with its worries and frustrations can be overwhelming but I don’t want to soak in it. Dwelling on and illuminating chaos, anger, fear and stress isn’t where I want to put my thoughts and energy. I DO care, my heart and gut can attest to that. I help people around me with practical support where I can. If I really want to send a message I’ll write it on my car. (Yes, I did that.) Where I want to dwell is on the big picture, a sense of hope and enjoyed feelings we all share. For me it isn’t an escape but choosing refuge and inspiration in light."
