The Magic of Ink on Paper. I am working artist living in the beautiful Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. I have a love of experimenting and discovering the many approaches of ink on paper. The unpredictability never ceases to surprise, amaze and challenge me.  I love the vibrancy, fluidity, texture and joy of the imperfect. I use ink with watercolour, gouache, acrylics, collage and other media.  Being an avid gardener I am very passionate about our plant life, flowers, trees, sustaining nature and the environment.  In all my work there is an element of freedom, of escaping and wanting to be 'freed'.  The possiblities of the unknown.  Believing and having faith in the unlimited potential of what is to come.   I believe all human beings have a deep longing to experience the boundless joy of feeling free. Enjoy.
