Art and Creativity Workshops and Retreats
I was born and raised in Auckland, and moved to Thames in the 1990’s. Somewhere along the way in my late 20’s I stumbled upon my latent creativity while trying to decorate a new home on a non-existent budget. A spark was lit!
I am extremely interested in people and personal process, my training with The Learning Connexion Wellington, combined with training in counselling at Weltech Auckland, has enabled me to develop a solid background in creative expression through art and creativity. In 2006 I co-founded an organization called Figjam Workshops where the focus was on creating personal wellbeing through the use of art and creativity as a form of personal expression. I strongly believe that all people have an innate ability to express themselves through creativity, and that the ability to be in touch with one’s inner creativity is absolutely essential to wellbeing.
As part of my interest in creativity as a vehicle towards wellbeing, I co-founded Rejuvenate Spa Retreats and ran women's retreats in Bali, the perfect place to relax unwind and connect with your creative self.
I have a long connection with The Supported Life Style Hauraki Trust, an organization which supports people with disabilities and was involved with forming the Artsider Workshop, one of the community spaces within the organization.
I work mostly in acrylics, usually on a large scale, and also like to play around with mixed media and occasionally oils.
I recently moved from the Thames Coast to the central North Island where I find endless inspiration in the majestic landscapes of the King Country.
