I am an acrylic on canvas painter based in Wellington, New Zealand. My work has been recognised with national-level awards since the age of 17, including being the youngest ever recipient of the prestigious Adam Portraiture Award in 2022​​​​​. 

​

I love to depict people in the places I meet them, almost a snapshot in time. With such great detail that I can step back from a painting and recognise their expressions, the specific way their hair falls, the creases by their eyes, and the textures in the pavement they stand on. I love imperfections painted perfectly, because these are what make us human, and the details around us often inform the building of our sense of self. ​
