Artist Statement:

I was a scientist and a veterinarian before I chose to become a professional artist, 16 years ago. I made this career choice because I love to think, imagine, re-create and make my own personal statement as a reaction to things I see and experience. I especially love it when viewers connect with the deeper meaning of my work, and I am filled with gratitude when they decide to bring that work into their own homes. 

I have had limited formal art training, and instead much life experience from various occupations and roles including those already mentioned, as well as office worker and farm labourer; daughter, wife then mother; and of course, membership of human society.  I currently enjoy living in Central Otago, but was born in Canterbury and have lived in Hawkes Bay and Manawatu.
