COLOUR + CHEMISTRY + CONNECTION

A smiling woman standing in an artist's studio, surrounded by paintings, art supplies, and easels in Central Otago.

Based in Central Otago, New Zealand, I paint to capture the energy of a place. I translate our landscapes and storied spaces into meaningful art—an invitation to bring that same light, colour, and energy into your own home.

My work is held in private collections around the world and I regularly exhibit in Central Otago and Auckland.
