I am an artist located in a beautiful small town called Ngāruawāhia just outside of Hamilton NZ. I grew up with a creative mum on farm not far from there. ​I have been creating in one form or another since I was very small and have fond memories of sitting with my mum colouring and listening to her teachings on blending and colour layering to create depth and texture. 

​

Art was my passion in Highschool, however I put it aside once leaving school to complete other studies. After my first child was born I picked up a pencil again, this reignited my passion and it lead to me seeking out art schools where I came across The Learning Connexion. I studied for a few years.​ Between life changes and having children I have had to put my artwork on hold more often than I would like, but always returning to it in the end. 

​After my 3rd and last child was born I started doing portraits of my own pets and family to start with then for friends and extended family. I also was creating custom painted ukulele for those close to me. This gave me confidence to advertise on Facebook and to attend local markets. Which leads us to now, where I have had the pleasure of creating hundreds of portraits, custom artworks, along with hundreds of ukulele, and have a growing range of giftware. I am so excited for the future, with plans of a designated studio space and a small shop.
