Central to my current work are figurative women  symbolizing harmony with nature. These figures often feature flowers, birds, and butterflies, arranged to evoke serenity. Initially inspired by New Zealand’s native birds, and then Frida Kahlo’s vibrant work (and all of the artists inspired by her in turn) influenced my addition of the occasional intricate flower crown. Over time, my style embraced nostalgia and joy, including whimsical paintings of foggy glass panes adorned with playful, childlike images. This fusion of nature, and nostalgia defines my work, offering a familiar yet fantastical escape.

I draw much of my inspiration from the lush landscapes of Aotearoa, New Zealand environment, birds and wildlife, all of the different colours of green, women and a sense of nostalgia. Currently, I’m captivated by all shades of green—from the deep, calming tones of the forests to the fresh, vibrant hues of native ferns.
