For the past few years I have been working on illustrating two children's books. It has been Fun!
This picture book was developed for Matariki: The Naughtiest Stars.
My first run has sold out, now is available as a downloadable pdf renamed 'The Rascally Stars.'
'Finding Grandpa's Song' supports children to gain understanding about what dementia is, and how they can support their loved ones living with dementia.
Finding Grandpa's Song will be printed soon.

BIO
Hey, it's great you came to visit! I made this page for you to enjoy, so have a rest, make a cuppa, and look around.
I love to create space in my life to write and make art. You will find some of my work here.
In my day job, I meet with people in conflict as a mediator. There my goal is to bring the korero to a place where exploring
the conflict issues can happen. Then find ways to move forward.
Within this site you have the ability to shop, contact me, keep up to date with my latest creative project, follow my blog, link into my social media, and generally keep in touch.
I like to think about life within community. Even when I feel like hiding away, I often find my own standing place within the sharing and hearing of story.
