A bit about me.

I love travelling, art, architecture, antiques, antiquities and ancient cultures. I spend a lot of time thinking about consciousness and how that ties in with quantum physics. I begun Art at school, being my highest grade, some may have thought I would have followed the art path first, however I was just as interested in how the world worked, (politics, law, and conflicts), although I didn't start out there. I started with mechanical engineering and computer science, I wanted to build things, mostly computers, maybe robotics, then from there I studied Neuroscience, then religions, philosophies, law, then finally Peace & Conflict studies. All the while I was painting, drawing, writing, building, and designing at home.

I owned my first art gallery at 18 years of age, and then another in 2017. I curate mostly now while working as a full time artist, (since 2010). For the first 5 years I spent a lot of time at fairs and joint exhibitions, and now I mainly do solo exhibitions, Waikato Museum, 2017, 202; LuxembLuxembourg Art Prize 2020 (Merit), 2021 (Merit). At the same time I try to travel, especially in Europe, however Covid19 affected that, and I had to come back early from a commission with a major Fashion House with Danny Wise, (Sicily, Italy, March 2020), cutting my travels short. I am currently concentrating on large abstracts and abstract expressionist flower paintings, (2016 onwards), however my early focus (2010 - 2017) was on Flower sculptures and ceramics.

I have International DNA, so my interests were always going to be varied (I struggled with this for a long time). I was Born in NZ (citizenship) to a British Mother (citizenship). My major DNA is Brittany which includes Irish, Scottish, Welsh, French, Italian (Resident 2019/2020) Dutch, Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco Switzerland, and also 20% Scandinavian, Spanish & Italian.

I was educated at Otago, Massey & Waikato Universities (NZ) in Religions, Philosophy, Law and Politics. I Post graduated in Peace & Conflict studies (Human Security & Human Rights) I received 3 x Fulbright awards as a young leader under the US Embassy Consulate in NZ and as I had a high interest in International Law, I also received the Prime Ministers Award to China for International Trade. I excelled in International Law, & Humanitarian intervention. During all these years I also built other businesses.

Owner & Curator of Art galleries (1992) (2017 -). Antiques and Antiquities dealer in Asian Art & Ceramics from 1999 to 2017. 3 x Published Author. Various solo and joint Exhibitions in Europe (2019) & the South Pacific from 2010 onwards. I am also a mother of twins, no small feat.

In regards to investment sales, my global sales exceed over 5000 pieces sold from small ceramics to sizeable large abstracts and are in collections worldwide. I have increasingly become interested in Europe and America for Art sales and look forward to working with new galleries and Museums in the future on collaborations, or individually.

My view of the world is based on this statement, I AM HUMAN. In the future this statement will become necessary, as the world parallels with AI infrastructures, I am sure our lives will only get more complicated, so for now,

Namaste. I see you. I appreciate you. I am grateful. Be kind to yourself and others.
