PAINTING


We didn’t come here to melt in to the sun. We came here to grow under it’s rays

My painting practise is the space I give to the outpouring of unplanned motions, a place for all that I input to come out in the most unfiltered way possible. Some paintings may start with an initial thought but often come out different to how I could have imagined.

Painting from home in Aotearoa has it’s influence on the colours and shapes that come as well as the words that sit alongside these works. All approached in a stream of consciousness way.

BLOCK SHRINES
My Block Shrines practise is my personal photography practise. Shrines made from my block, meaning the property we live, the neighbourhood or sometimes the place where we are staying. 

It is my way of drawing my eye to the present. Noticing what is around me and making a mini monument to the every day. 

Most of the time I take a walk around my garden and see what is drawing my attention, or what is ready to harvest. Dill stalks, dried puka leaves fallen to the ground, a delicate poppy petal, juicy tomatoes. 

Mother nature is endlessly inspiring. 



PHOTOGRAPHY AND STYLING
Hand stitched backdrops, hand painted ceramics, backgrounds and fabric. Making my own props and utlising local makers.
