BIO

 

I live in Ōtautahi, New Zealand. I am a Primary School Teacher and Artist. 

 

I primarily paint portraits using a variety of mediums, such as oils, pastels, and charcoal. However, enjoy printmaking, pottery and sculpture. 

In 2015 I dived back into the world of art after teaching and starting a family. I started a blog to motivate myself and document my work, and things have just moved forward from there so quickly. I look forward to the venture ahead!
