About Me

Welcome to my blog.

Inspiration comes from the fascinating history which surrounds me. The ancient sites steeped in stories of times gone by, different cultures and peoples lives.

My work consists of mixed media, print, textiles and jewellery pieces, exploring themes like memory and that place we call home.  A favourite past time is collecting treasures and found objects on my travels, using these pre-loved materials in my work, breathing new life with echoes of the old.

I’m a drifter and a dreamer, forever looking for the next adventure. I'm the only Kiwi artist I know of, randomly placed in the English countryside..! So this blog is my way of reaching out to the art world, sharing with you what I do and love.

Please feel free to comment, I'd love to hear your feedback and learn about your work. Or if you wish to contact me, please email:
