About
I'm a New Zealand-based artist, working in multiple fields - interior and exterior murals, painting, drawing, illustration, sculpture and textiles. I aim to create murals and art with a colourful positive vibe. My work sits comfortably within a kitsch aesthetic, utilising pattern, bold colour, glitter, craft, textiles, decorative embellishments and the ready-made. Combinations of colour, pattern, text and symbolism are used to explore humour in my everyday life as a mum and as a woman. Humour is an important and underlying theme in my work, with the quote “it’s feminism with a frown turned upside-down” (Harford, 2013) a guiding sentiment in all areas of my practice.

I paint my designs that have been created after working with the clients

Pick me for these projects! :-

I love making custom murals and canvas paintings. My murals and painting always take on a colourful, fun, positive vibe. I love working on commissioned paintings to tell a clients story and explore all the things that are important to them and their whanau.

I'll sit these ones out :-
