"The Owl Kids"
"I am a Wellington illustrator and (I've been told) an all-round formidable
woman."
Character study from "The Owl Kids"
"'The Owl Kids’ is a serialised story for a regular illustration spot I do in the Forest and Bird 'Wild Things’ kids
magazine. It’s about a
family of (adopted) kids who live in a camper van with their
ornithologist mum who is searching for the laughing owl. They stumble on
some bird smugglers and do their best to catch them."
"This is a piece of work I did about pre european Māori for Te Kura Pounamu The Correspondence School."
"I work in a tiny garret in a historic Cuba St building that I share with
three art galleries and fellow artist, illustrator and awesome comic creator
Bob Kerr."
"Comic art is a new thing for me and I’m keen to use it to
tell unsung women’s narratives and bring their stories to light."
Extract from "Minnie's Story"
"My comic submission [to Three Words] is about my Māori great-grandmother who lived for a time in a slab hut in
the Wairarapa, when the 40 mile bush was felled for road rail and farmland, some
time around 1900."
