I am a self taught artist based in Coromandel. As a teenager I was talked out of going to fine arts school by my "well-meaning" parents saying that one could not make a living from art. Ever since then I have dabbled in art and in recent years it has become my main focus.

 

Traditionally a painter, I currently work mostly with clay. Recently I have journeyed from the depths of the divine feminine to feeling a deep reverence for our Great Earth Mother, Papatuanuku/Gaia/Pachamama. I have had a two year break from the tour to embark on my motherhood journey which has been an inspiration for much of my recent work. I'm also inspired by ancient Earth Mother figures, Celtic myths, Goddesses and explorations of the various different feminine archetypes.

 

My home studio can be visited year round by appointment or this year for the tour I will be joining Kim and Kevin Brett at their Workshop Gallery, 1613 Manaia Road, right next to the famous Coromandel Oyster Company. Come say hi!
