After studying landscape architecture, as well as education, in Auckland, I then moved to Taranaki in 2010, where I now create art and continue to teach. I have been drawing off and on all my life, but in 2019, I began to pursue it with more fervour. I recently published my alphabet book - ‘AmalgamationZ’, which includes 13 drawings of quirky mash ups. My latest works are focused on the beauty and majesty of some of Taranaki’s trees and are created in ink using fine artists’ pens
