A fresh new look for Tū Tira, Youthtown Auckland
I worked with the awesome rangitahi (youth) to find out what was important to them. They talked about all being in the same waka (boat). The sunrise represents new beginnings and the bird is a kēreru, which are common to this area.
I paint murals because the human spirit matters, how we feel matters, and our environments matter; I help people create sublime spaces so they can live inspired lives.
I’m a highly experienced mural specialist who has been sharing beauty and meaning through art since 1998. I relish the power my murals have to build pride in our cities, boost the desirability of environments, tell stories and engage customers. My style is unapologetically unique: a special combination of peaceful and vibrant, conceptual and ethereal. My murals are love letters to cities and homes and the people within them.
I get a kick out of taking ideas or themes and translating them into visual language. I guide clients through an enjoyable and collaborative process, and am told I’m fantastic to work with. I’ve been commissioned by major brands, small businesses, councils, and individuals on a wide variety of interior and exterior murals throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.
I bring a hefty amount of experience and professionalism to each job. My background is in graphic design, illustration, arts education, creative community development, and directing major arts events, including Hamilton’s Boon Street Art Festival. My calm and mindful demeanour has been cultivated by a two-decade long meditation practice. I’m always up for an interesting conversation, a fantastic adventure, or an unusual challenge.
Contact me today to talk about how we can make something amazing together. Wherever your wall, whatever your brief, I’ll ask the right questions, listen to your needs, and create something truly magical.
