About Me

I am a mother to 8-year-old twin boys, Jonty and Macauley (and 19-year-old Mackenzie) from New Zealand. Through a mother’s eyes, capturing my children’s individual personalities and character, then positioning them in their own visual story art pieces, is a unique way of preserving treasured family memories that the boys can one day draw upon and show to their own children.

Equipped with my computer and software, a camera, a Wacom Tablet and her imagination, I aim to produce whimsically detailed imagery that speaks from the soul, projecting a blend of a mother’s love and devotion. The conceptual artworks blur the lines between magic and reality, highlight the boys’ individual interests and passions, encapsulates the emotion and tells the viewer a story.

To spice up the fantasy feel, I also fashion wearable art costumes for both boys encompassing outfits, wigs, facial hair and makeup. Once the boys are in character, she encourages them to utilise their acting skills and proceeds to photograph them in a variety of poses to be used in her artwork. An essential ingredient in preserving our treasured family memories is having my artwork printed into beautiful archival books annually.

I am firm believer that any form of art is a journey that is continually evolving, as you never stop learning, being limited only by your own imagination.

As Einstein so aptly put “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
