New Zealand Art with Passion in mind!


Kia Ora!

Please feel free to visit my online gallery any time - this is my true passion and I love keeping the gallery updated. You can get to the site by clicking >here<

Here is some info about me ...

I am an ex-pat English woman lucky enough to be living in beautiful New Zealand (Aotearoa).
This country offers every landscape you could imagine, with a cornucopie of visual, aural, tactile, culinary and cultural differences to feed the artistic temperament.
Most of my work is oil on canvas, or photography.
What an extremely varied country this is, with much to offer the artistic temperament!




When painting, I mainly work in oils on large canvasses; I am also a photographer and am inspired by the natural beauty and colour that surrounds me in this amazing land.

I love the rich arts of the Maori people and their culture, and am especially intrigued by the connections of all indigenous peoples throughout the world.

Through my work, I explore the connections we all share, and celebrate life itself as the wonderous gift that it is.

Here are some things you will find in MY GALLERIES ...

Paintings and Pacifica -
is a collection of my recent works that are currently for sale. They change regularly and the style changes with my moods (both of which can be volatile and often!).

Living Images -
I adore photography, and it is my second medium of choice. Here I offer flora and scenery of New Zealand. My love of photography came from using photographs as my 'models' while painting.

Handmade Paper Products -
The paper is Hand Made in New Zealand, including authentic native flora wherever possible (nothing is ever used that is protected or that is taken from the earth that has not already been harvested).
All paper is acid free and of the highest standard.
I then work with collage, paint, dried flora and my photographic works to create original pieces for cards, bookmarks, etc.
These pieces make wonderful collections together, and many people have done just that - either using them as a 3-D art piece or framing them in a group.

Some Previous Works -
is a collection of previously sold works. I do take commissions but of course no two pieces are the same, and I would not like them to be. If you see something you like I will produce something similar. Thus ensuring you have an original piece.

'Smalls' Colelction -
was inspired by an exhibition I took part in at Christchurch Arts Centre. The topic was 'miniature' and had to be worked on tiny pieces. Therefore, I was a little stuck as I tend to like to work LARGE!!!
My partner suggested this idea when he was searching for undies one morning (smalls, you see??)
Very cute and lots of fun!!

Divine Elementals -
is a group of New Zealand artists that I am a proud member of. We are not an 'official' organisation, as such. More a group of very good friends and family that meet, share, create, and love all aspects of the arts.
Included in this gallery are works by:
Matt Hazard - tattoo artist and painter (also my brother :D)
Gabriel Hazard - child artist (and also my nephew :D)
Danny Ngene Ngene - contemporary Maori artist living in the Hawkes Bay area - working in oils on canvas and custom wood board.

Enjoy!!

I value your comments and invite you to email me or to rate any works on this site.

(May I leave you in good health)
