Auckland Mural Artist and Photographer
From my earliest days, I’ve been captivated by the joy of creation, weaving vibrant tales through art. My work is a dynamic tapestry, ever-evolving to reflect the unique stories of my clients. As a visual storyteller, I craft each piece with intention, tailoring it to its environment and infusing it with the cultural heartbeat of the people and places it celebrates.
Since relocating to New Zealand with my family in 2017, I’ve immersed myself in the local art scene. My creative journey began in South Africa, where my passion for expression took root. After embracing motherhood, I honed my craft through professional photography, specializing in heartfelt family, maternity, and newborn portraits. Upon settling in New Zealand, I rediscovered my first love—painting—by creating a vibrant mural for my daughters’ school library. This sparked a wave of commissions for large-scale murals, each a bold narrative or a stunning enhancement of spaces. In 2020, my digital artwork was selected by Auckland Transport for their “Heads Up, Ears Out, Trains About” railway safety campaign, proudly displayed on a train—a project you can explore through this video.
My murals come to life with acrylics, spray paint, and the occasional flourish of an airbrush. For digital creations, I wield the power of ProCreate, Photoshop, and Illustrator to bring visions to reality. My inspiration springs from the world around me—nature’s splendor and the rich stories of the people I work with. Each commission is a collaboration, weaving clients’ messages, themes, and aspirations into art that resonates.
When I’m not painting or designing, you’ll likely find me savoring a glass of wine while whipping up a delicious meal for my family. My wonderfully supportive husband and four spirited daughters are my greatest muses, offering both candid critiques and boundless encouragement. Beyond the studio, I cherish strolls in nature, diving into a good book or movie, tickling the ivories on my piano, attending church, engaging in heartfelt conversations, or enjoying lively board and card games. Sometimes, I simply delight in being—soaking in the beauty of the moment.
