I’m an artist based in Whangārei, Aotearoa.
My work is inspired by the connections between people, place, memory and Te Taiao, and the ways these shape our sense of identity and belonging.
Working across abstract landscape and figurative painting, I draw on human gesture and expression, alongside the rhythms and forms of the natural world.
My work moves between the recognisable and the abstract, exploring not only what is seen, but what is felt and remembered.
Using flowing forms, layered mark-making and an earthy, intuitive palette, my paintings invite reflection and personal interpretation.
With a background in spatial design, my practice is grounded in balance, structure and flow.
