My work with Art has been shaped by a life lived across various countries and landscapes, growing up in New Zealand, I was surrounded by a raw, elemental environment where land, sea and sky meet with a quiet intensity, bright turquoise seas and vivid lush landscapes. Those early experiences-vast coastlines , shifting weather patterns, volcanic earth and luminous light - formed my first understanding of space, atmosphere, and the emotional power of the country, it allowed me to visualise my extended colour pallet.
