A little bit about me….

I bring my art to you from Christchurch New Zealand. I have long had an interest in mixed media artworks, from collage and fabric work, stitched paperworks and pallet knife textural abstracts to the smooth silkiness of acrylic work under resin.

In recent years, it is these gorgeously ‘organic’ flowing paintings, enrobed in resin that I find myself immersed in daily, creating entirely unique, bespoke art pieces. The life and movement of each piece is truly a joy to create and the resin topcoat makes the art sing - must be seen to be believed! The freedom of this beautifully fluid art form is something I discovered whilst recovering from a serious accident in 2019. During those early recovery weeks and months I found such peace and release in this artform in a way that resolved my inability to think properly…where I came to love the relinquishing of control and the opportunity to allow the paintings to evolve.

I am a Christian and through my faith in God, I was able to accept that my recovery journey was in fact to become a new beginning for me… and for you! I am in love with this artform…it’s given me great joy and purpose as I create art that goes on to connect with others. That is pure magic!

It is my sincere hope that YOU find a piece that resonates with you…ENJOY!
