About Me

From Colouring Books to Canvases: My Creative Awakening

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a seeker — of colour, of meaning, of magic. As a child, while others played with dolls and toys, I was lost in the wonder of creation. Colouring books were my sanctuary, and filling blank pages with vibrant energy felt like a spell — simple yet transformative. Even then, I sensed that art was more than something I created; it was a way to explore the world and connect with something deeper.

But like all great journeys, mine wasn’t without its obstacles. In college, an art teacher’s devastating words — “You can’t draw” — planted seeds of doubt that kept me from creating for years. Those words silenced my confidence, but they could never extinguish the magic of creativity. It waited patiently, like a flame flickering in the distance, until I was ready to embrace it again.

Finding My Way Back to Creation

Even as I stepped away from traditional art, my love for design took me down a new path. I found my outlet in Graphic Design, where the digital canvas became my playground. My work took me across the globe, collaborating with world leaders and creating visuals for organisations like Prince Charles, HSBC, and British Telecom.

The explorer in me thrived on these experiences. Every project and every challenge felt like unlocking a new door. When I returned to New Zealand, I channelled this energy into Lime-Red Design, my own design agency. For over a decade, I led a creative team, supported charities, and designed projects that left a positive impact.

Yet, through all this, I felt the quiet call of something more. The same call that had captivated me as a child: there’s something deeper waiting for you.

Art as a Path to Transformation

In 2014, I took a leap of faith. I sold my business and stepped into the unknown world of intuitive healing. At the time, it felt like stepping off a cliff — letting go of the known to embrace the mysterious. But my spiritual journey was transformative. It taught me how to trust my intuition, embrace change, and reconnect with the magic of life.

That same energy began to flow into my art. At first, I painted simply for joy, exploring texture, colour, and freedom. But art is a powerful magician; it transforms as much as it creates. With every brushstroke, I uncovered lost parts of myself and reconnected with my creative essence.

In 2024, everything changed when I discovered The Learning Connexion and the Milan Art Institute. For the first time in years, I fully embraced my identity as an artist. I became a student again — learning, experimenting, and exploring techniques with fresh eyes and an open heart.

Healing Through the Canvas

Today, my art is a powerful blend of creativity and energy work. Each painting is more than just a visual experience; it is a vessel for healing. As an intuitive healer, I draw on the same principles of energy and transformation that guide my spiritual work when I paint. The canvas becomes a sacred space where colours, textures, and layers merge to channel energy that resonates with the soul.

When I create, I infuse every brushstroke with love, peace, and transformation. This energy flows through the colours, the textures, and the layers, creating pieces that don’t just speak to the eyes but also to the heart and soul.

Birds often appear in my work, symbols of freedom, connection, and the journey to higher perspectives. They represent the healing journey — both mine and yours. Just as I channel healing energy into my work, I hope my art brings a sense of peace, hope, and renewal to those who experience it.

For me, the process of painting is deeply spiritual. I feel guided by intuition and spirit, as though the canvas and I are co-creating something far greater than either of us alone. Each piece carries a story — one of transformation, connection, and the magic of possibility.

The Adventure Continues

This is only the beginning. My art continues to evolve as I grow, and each painting is a new adventure. I see my work as both a reflection of my own healing journey and a gift to those who engage with it. It’s an offering of energy, love, and a reminder that transformation is always possible.

Thank you for joining me on this path and for sharing in the magic that flows through my work. Whether you see my art, hold it in your hands, or simply feel its energy, know that it was created with the deepest intention to inspire and heal.

The canvas is alive with possibility, and the adventure is just beginning.
