Living on a clifftop above Ripiro beach, in Northland, New Zealand, I divide my time between being in nature with my camera and enjoying processing the outcome of those hours. I love to share my work and exhibit regularly throughout New Zealand. I have images enjoying homes all over the world. To keep my edge I regularly compete in various competitions nationally and internationally and am proud to be an accredited PSNZ photographic judge.
I enjoy collaboration with different artists and as a founder of the Murwai Open Studios Collective am still part of this wonderfully diverse group of artists.
I love to share my knowledge and skills with others and I offer workshops both from from my clifftop studio, around different parts of New Zealand or online. I also enjoy working for Women in Photography giving workshops around Australasia.
Please enjoy browsing through my website and if you would like to book any workshops, purchase any images or enjoy any collaborating with me - feel free to contact me to make arrangements.
Welcome to my new studio!!
