Coming up Roses - Dog sculpture
I painted one of the old Blind Low Vision collection boxes that used to sit in shopping centres. These were turned into one off peices of art and auctioned to raise money to train assistance dogs for the blind.

All my life I have loved to work with my hands to make things and have developed a passion for colour, texture and patterns. These elements are incorporated into my art. I am inspired by vibrant colours and beautiful outdoor scenes.
I work from my home studio is in Onehunga, Auckland and exhibit my paintings on canvas in group exhibitions around New Zealand. I enjoy supporting charities so regularly donate works and get involved in their fundraising campaigns . I also paint murals and have completed many Chorus cabinets and an electrical cabinet for Vector. My favourite subjects are beaches, birds, bush and gardens.
In 2022 I painted a whale tail for World Wildlife Fund for the Whale Tale Sculpture trail around Auckland city. Mine was displayed outside Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World on Tamaki Drive, Mission Bay. I am delighted that my tail sold at auction for $14,750 with all proceeds going to WWF to help protect whales.
