there's no getting away from the fact that my creative practice is driven by botanicals.
i see no reason to not accept that & go with it.
i've decided the best approach for 2019 is to follow my whims & see where i end up in 52 weeks time.

i'm happy to move through the world as a botanical dabbler.
NZ native botanicals such as kawakawa, harakeke & muka will always be at the forefront of my creative practice & i'm happy about that.
​it's quite simple - they make my heart sing.
