Kaupapa and biography

Currently based in Whangarei, I completed a Master of Fine Arts through Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design in 2020.

My practice is diverse and multifaceted, it includes collaboration, storytelling, textile work, installation, performance, drawing, audio and video work. Recently, the work Selfies Stitched in lockdown 2020 was selected as a finalist in the Wallace Awards 2020 and was part of the touring finalist showcase. Another stitch work, Exercise 45, was a finalist in Changing Threads, National Fibre Art Awards in Nelson. I have exhibited locally at Geoff Wilson Gallery, including an installation and performance from my masters research.
