Colour energizes me – it feeds my soul.
I’m in my happy place when I’m creating or am surrounded by colour. I’m an intuitive and mixed media and textile artist with an interest in Art Jewellery- Particularly silversmithing.
Painting and being Creative make me happy- I create to express my emotions and unlock untold stories that evoke memories. I paint to make others happy and to make them smile – to escape to another world if only for a little while. I create from my heart.
To be able to work at what is your passion is a real privilege.
I feel very humbled to know that my Jewellery, Textiles and Art have found homes worldwide.

A yearning to come home to Auckland, and an understanding husband, has enabled me to open my studio/gallery – Gallery 61. I paint in oils, the depth and richness highlighting the beauty of Aotearoa. My varied work is held in collections throughout New Zealand and overseas. 18 months ago I opened my studio/gallery to a small group of local artists. I hope to include the talented work of this little group in my gallery during this year’s art trail. I am also an author and illustrator of children’s books. My books are in English and Te Reo and I will be signing them in my gallery.
