Featured Studio
Artfelt Studio
I’m a BFA artist, who majored in Printmaking from Taupo Quay School of Fine Arts in 2000. I have spent the last 25 years focused on intuitive drawing, painting and printmaking. My art is inspired by my spiritual journey, working as a mirimiri practitioner at a local Māori Healing Centre. The name Artfelt Studio comes from the word ‘heartfelt’ which is my art goal.
