North star
This was the second painting done for the 'Collect' zine. It is a watercolour using a mostly the beautiful iridescent and pearlescent paints from Daniel Smith.
Illustrative portraits
This kind of work brings me real joy and usually reflects my love of children's illustration and storytelling. These pieces are sometimes done for a story and sometime are the story themselves. Some of these works I have created for a local zine published by a lovely group of friends here in Wellington, NZ
Tree spirit
This is my first zine contribution! Windsor Newton artist watercolour finished with silver Gansai Tambi watercolour detail.
Fiesta!
This is a gouache piece inspired by Wellington's CubaDupa festival, and, at the time, was a way for me to illustrate the costumes I had in mind Wellington Batucada's big stage performance.
Cockatoo
This is painting done in gouache for a 52 week illustration challenge. I think the theme was 'animal'!
The background of this piece was done in beautiful Sennelier shellac based inks. The little fish in the foreground is done using gouache.
watercolour... this is part of a series of female portraits I have slowly been working on.
