I also work as an art tutor in Rimutaka and Wellington Prisons and at Toi Whakaari.I have had a love for drawing and art ever since I can remember. I exhibits artworks regularly, have performed live animations at numerous festivals and events nationwide, and have had international exposure with my video work screened in Japan and throughout Europe. My illustration has been published locally and internationally. My drawings have featured in magazine editorials, art books, album covers, billboards and posters, art and design magazines and on numerous online art and design portals. I recently produced animations for The New Zealand School of Dance’s Sketch performance as well as WOW (World of Wearable Art).

As a tutor, I have a strong interest in working with artists who are on the fringes of our society. I have worked with artists with physical and intellectual disabilities at Panacea (now Spark Studios), as well as working with artists at Pablos Art Studios who have experienced mental illnesses. I currently runs art classes at Rimutaka Prison and Wellington Prison. I also tutor regularly at Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School and in the past I have tutored at Massey University in Wellington.
I am also a passionate facilitator of collaborative community projects. Recent projects include a community mural project, and a collaborative community project exploring biculturalism in Te Whanganui-ā-Tara. I am currently working as an arts facilitator as part of a stream restoration project as well as a project in Wellington’s Hutt Valley as part of Rugby World Cup.
