Welcome
to my website.
Through
my art, I desire for the viewer to share in my experience of the beauty of
Pacific Island cultures, Aotearoa and their people, and to discover the story
within each piece.
The Polynesian simplification of form such as the Tivaevae quilts, Kowhaiwhai
designs and Tukutuku panels, alongside my celtic lineage and affiliations with
the Te Arawa Tribe, have impressed upon me the beauty of strong simple
lines.
My
subject matter has also been influenced by my deep love of nature. I choose
images that I strongly associate with the
subtropical environment of my upbringing, such as the Hibiscus
and Frangipani flowers. The colour red is a constant theme throughout my work,
reflecting my passion for the South Pacific and its people.
