Growing up on the Rangitaiki Plains in the sunny Bay of Plenty I was born and raised in the rural area of Thornton. Having never done any official training, apart from what my lovely art teachers taught me in High School, I am on the most part self taught and am still exploring different medias and styles.

​

I am a mother of four kids ranging in age from 1 years old to 13 and along with my husband we live on 20odd acres rurally out of Whakatane on the outskirts of Te Ureweras with our small collection of animals. I have a passion for hunting, fishing, farming and I have finally decided to turn my passion for drawing into more.

​

Taking inspiration from my everyday adventures in the outdoors I enjoy creating fine art works, prints and originals mainly of hunting, fishing and NZ wildlife, when I am not out doing activities with the kids or out on the farm. 

​

I take a small number of Pet Portrait commissions, this will depend on the juggle of art and children so will be very limited.
