        Coin’s Corner

        Welcome to my Whanganui home studio, where temporary spaces have become places of creation. My art reflects an evolving journey—from life in Shanghai to the calm of Whanganui, inspired by European travels and my personal health challenges. Set against our 1930s Art Deco home and garden, I hope you’ll find something meaningful and unique during Artists Open Studios Week.
