Profile

  

 

Born in Waipukurau, Hawke’s Bay.

 

As a  teacher, I have enjoyed teaching art to children at all levels, always encouraging them to express themselves in ways which reflect their cultural identity and  love of their environment.

 

I am currently exploring the use of watercolours, pastels and charcoal in my own artwork and my inspiration is taken from the landscape and the people who live in and love this land. The  colours and patterns of nature provide a rich source of ideas for my artwork.

 

My paintings have been purchased for private art collections in London, Paris, USA,  Australia and New Zealand.
