I was born in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1976.  I grew up in Wellington, New
Zealand.  I have a twin sister, and two older brothers.

I have always taken art subjects through out my schooling including art
history and I have completed various art courses on leaving school,
including textile design and fine arts.  I then decided to pursue a career as a
Teacher and I  taught for two years.

I have steadily painted throughout my life but only became serious about
selling my art early in 2006.  I now exhibit in the Kiwi Art House Gallery,
located in upper Cuba St, Wellington.  I love to use bright vibrant colours to
depict New Zealand Landscapes.  A favourite scene to paint is Somes
(Matiu) Island in the Wellington Harbour with native New Zealand flax which
is prominent in most vantage points when viewing the island.  I draw
inspiration from photographs that I have taken myself and translate this into
my unique painting style.

As an emerging artist I like to pitch my work as "affordable" so please feel
free to contact me and enquire about commissions.  This is certainly an
affordable option for everyone to have a piece of original New Zealand art in
their home or office

I have sold work at the renowned Wellington Affordable Art show.
