"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."

"I’m 21 and studying postgrad gender and media studies at Auckland Uni. I am quite ambitious academically, so a bit slow at producing comics, but I love making/reading them very much."

 
"I have one bigger project of bits of stories about the Wolf Girls (my submission [to Three Words] is the beginning). I’ve also been making little pencil drawings with no words, [see above] about travelling and holidays in New Zealand and overseas. They were made as gifts for family, friends and some of my wonderful teachers/mentors."

"Here’s a link to one of my postcard comics."
