I am Tina, a trained graphic artist with over 20 years experience. I have always been a creative sort, painting and making from as young as I can remember.

I am also a mama to three precious souls, one whom we unexpectedly had to say goodbye to at birth.

As part of this, I began making rose quartz butterfly suncatchers to include in the boxes I make up for Sands Northland / Whangarei, wanting to add something handmade and beautiful for parents to treasure long after saying goodbye.

Becoming a mama meant little time alone, and using spare moments to work, inside, behind a computer got old. My happy place, is in my garden, in the ngahere, sitting streamside, growing, documenting, sketching, noticing the magic.

It is a pleasure to be able to create and offer treasures to you :)

Thanks for looking!

Tina xx
