Bio

I have just recently completed my final year of a Bachelor of Design degree in Photography at ARA in Christchurch, New Zealand.

I was born in Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand, 1978. Over the past 22 years I have worked with a variety of mediums & materials including; painted paper cut-outs, fabric collages, abstract expressionism paintings and now Wax Mixed Media using my original black and white Christchurch Photography.

​​I have been exploring Wax Mixed Media since the end of 2016. This mixed media gives my photography an added element of depth and texture. I use a combination of  my photography, encaustic medium, cold wax and oil paint. All works are original, one of a kind pieces of art.
