After twenty years in graphic design and animation, in 2012 I refocused on my first love of painting, . I primarily concentrate on the human figure, potraiture, and abstracted florals with a leaning towards an expressionist, confident and textured approach

I am based in Auckland, New Zealand where I share my house with one husband and two daughters


I paint full time from a studio on the main street in Devonport, and have had five solo shows, and appeared in multiple group shows.

Art Classes from a working studio

I offer small, hands on art classes from my studio in central Devonport, which typically run over seven or eight weeks, 2.5 hours, one day a week. A maximum of three students ensures a session bespoke to the individual's experience level. Currently the class is learning to fracture and distort still life in a few novel and interesting ways. Typically we work in charcoal, oil paint and collage. Acrylics can be discussed depending on the topic. My next class will focus on figures within scenes, working from photos and life. The class incorporates expressionist styles as well as realism.
