About the Artist
Art as medicine
My pieces are stories of time; the past & future all wrapped into Now. One of the most important qualities I have learned as an artist is to be a vessel for what is asking to be shared and to listen and pay attention to the qualities of your medium. My Harakeke teacher in NZ once shared with me while learning the Art of flax weaving “let the flax tell you where it wants to go”, this statement forever defined my approach to my creative practice and allowed me to surrender the creative act to a larger, more connected place from within myself.
I spent most of my younger years combing the planet, traveling from country to country in search of things that ignited my identity. I sought out beautiful landscapes, music that transports, art that convenes with the soul.
After life long creative pursuits within Fashion & Textile Design, Leather work, photography, carpentry and furniture restoration, these practices led to developing a sound creative process. After completing my training in Fashion & Textile Design at Frazer Valley University and my fine arts training at White Cliffe College of Art & Design in Auckland, NZ, I knew the nature of my artistry would shift.
For over 20 years, I have also trained and practiced in the field of the Healing Arts including Quantum Physics, Shamanic training Human Design .and explorations.
It is with my deepest intentions that my work inspires curiosity and more ease in your heart and to look into the horizon of your life with brighter eyes.
