Happiness is being inspired...inspired by nature, people, emotions...inspiration enables me to create beautiful things. I like to paint, do DIY, up-cycle found items, play on my computer, to name a few interests, and love searching out interesting materials to use. I love to recycle and can often be found painting old pre-loved surfboards and guitars. After many years working for a large corporate company, I now work from home on graphic design projects and websites for local businesses. I love the flexibility of working from home, where I can move from one project to another as the mood takes me. And living by the sea in Kaikoura offers me loads of inspiration.

I hope you enjoy browsing through my collection.
