As an artist, my creative journey began during year 10 and year 11 at Sacred Heart College in Lower Hutt, Wellington, Aotearoa. Although I stepped away from painting for many years, a memorable experience in 2020—a wine and sip event—rekindled my passion for the craft. That moment reminded me of the joy, presence, and love I hold for painting. Since then, I have created several artworks and am eagerly preparing to showcase my pieces in various exhibitions throughout the coming year.
I am deeply inspired by storytelling, especially narratives rooted in Māori culture, and my style leans towards the abstract. I warmly welcome the opportunity to collaborate on commissioned works for whānau and businesses, bringing meaningful stories to life through my art.

Latest Collection - Ngā Kaitiaki Wāhine o Te Ao - is being presented at Whau Community Art Expo in October 2025
Ngā Kaitiaki Wāhine o Te Ao is a body of oil paintings honouring the atua wāhine — female deities — who shape and sustain life in Aotearoa. Through flowing forms, elemental colour palettes, and circular or sweeping compositions, each work embodies the energy and essence of a guardian: Hinerauwhārangi, the life-giving winds of change; Hinekauorohia, the flowing currents and hidden depths; and Papatūānuku, the grounding presence of the earth mother. Together, they speak of balance, whakapapa, and the enduring relationship between people and the natural world.
They are separately called :
Hinerauwhārangi
Inspired by the guardian of life-giving winds and personification of growth, this oil on circular canvas unites air, water, and land. Crimsons, blood reds and oranges radiate like the breath of dawn, while flowing forms and koru spirals evoke growth, renewal, and the enduring connection between people and whenua.
Hinekauorohia
Inspired by the guardian of flowing waters and hidden depths, this oil on circular canvas draws the viewer into a spiral of ocean blues. A central figure rests within the current, embodying surrender, transformation, and the unseen strength beneath still waters.
Papa-tūā-nuku
Inspired by the Earth Mother, this oil painting flows with deep greens and soft light, evoking the life-giving embrace of the land. Rolling forms and curving lines speak of nurture, grounding, and the eternal relationship between whenua and all living things.
