Art In Progress

Made to Be Enjoyed: Art for Your Home & Beyond

I’m a local artist in Taranaki, passionate about sharing my work across New Zealand—bringing meaningful, thought-provoking art into homes and personal spaces. My pieces are open to interpretation, allowing you to connect with them in your own unique way.

I've always had a passion for art, but it truly blossomed in high school when it became my escape. No matter what life threw my way, art was always there—a place of solitude and self-expression. Inspiration finds me in different ways—sometimes through personal experiences I haven’t fully processed, other times from something as simple as the way light hits an object and sends me into deep thought.

But I don’t create to tell you what to see—I want you to find your own meaning in my work. Maybe it resonates with a part of your journey, or maybe you just think it looks cool. Either way, that’s amazing!

As a mother, my dream is to build a life where I can stay home with my family while doing what I love. So, I’m pushing past my fears and putting my art out into the world—whether as original pieces or prints on clothing, canvas, and posters. Thank you for being here and supporting this journey!
