CURRENT MISSION

I'm travelling to meet people, see the sights and find new inspiration for my art and writing projects

ABOUT ME

I grew up in New Zealand and have been based in Melbourne the last 8 years. I currently work as an art model, and have been modelling for the last 6 years. I model for drawers, painters, sculptors and photographers. I'm passionate about this work as it gives me a chance to always be meeting all types of artists, picking up interesting techniques, bits of art history and seeing a broad range of works, whilst working own my own art projects. Above anything else I love being creative. I often wake up buzzing with new ideas, and know I'm going to have a great day exploring them. I also like to write poetry and short stories, sketch and am travelling to find new inspiration for these. I like going to music gigs, poetry readings, life drawing or sketch groups. I like outdoor adventures when I have the chance, as I grew up taking many trips to the mountains with my family in New Zealand, and it still remains a strong passion of mine. To keep fit, I have been doing taekwondo for 17 years and have also taken up kung fu for 1 year. I also like walking, running, and going for casual cycles around town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a chance to travel to Turkey and Syria with my family. This is one of the most interesting and exciting places I have visited as it is so strongly contrasted with life in New Zealand.

Also Sky-diving over snowy NZ mountains was amazing!!!
