Artist bio

I am an artist and Lino print-maker. I create hand carved , hand printed Lino prints, inspired by the landscapes and everyday moments that shape my life here in NZ.

My work is heavily influenced by our home farm and New Zealand’s coastal environments, I spend a lot of time out and about sketching and collecting shells driftwood, studying natural textures patterns and observing native flora and wildlife.

Along side larger pieces, I create small mini prints that tell quite stories of my daily life- snapshots of, places, moments, people.
Each print is carved inked and pulled by hand in small batches using traditional relief printmaking techniques, meaning no two prints are ever exactly the same. The marks imperfections are part of the process and part of the story.
