Originally from a farm in Rangataua, living under Mt Ruapehu I gained a love for the Mountain and skiing. Moving to Whanganui after travelling for many years, I set up Studio 86 in Guyton Street. My retail shop/ Gallery was in town for 7 1/2 years before falling pregnant with my first child, so I closed my shop to focus on Motherhood. I never stopped painting and while both my children were small I travelled to various big markets to sell my work. Over the years I have developed my style and my own product range, selling through my website and at certain events from my shop at home. ‘Art that makes you smile” is my focus and purpose. I am always looking for new inspiration and ideas that can get my art into the world, to uplift and inspire those who enjoy it.
