Artist, Reiki Practitioner, Poet, Teacher
From childhood until today I have always had an artistic streak. I've dabbled in visual arts and craft, cake
decoration music and poetry.
My nursing background gave me access to the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology and teaching has given me a variety
of situations in which to explore and create art with children.
Two years ago I completed a Foundation Arts course at the learning connexion and over the past couple of years have
begun to create various media towards my first Art exhibition.
I now tutor a small group of children for Artful Kids an initiative run by Paekakariki Artist Rachael Benefield.
My teaching career encouraged me to explore different art forms but life itself has been my greatest inspiration.
I find that meditation helps the creative flow and my best work is when I reach the zone where I am lost in time and
totally absorbed.
My work is mainly of the human or animal form and I aim to capture the essence of the subject.
I enjoy mixed media and sculpture and my next project is to combine paper casting and water colour.
Here are some examples of my work. Click on the images to see larger versions.
