New Mexico

Running my own business for 22 years taught me some very important lessons: always listen to what your clients need and follow through, planning for the future is not an option, and always work hard to help other people. I have come to this opportunity with unique experiences and a passion for listening to what is most important to you, the client, without judgment.

Things On The Wall -
Acrylic Canvas Artistry

Moving from New Zealand to NM created a high altitude gardening challenge for me, so I transferred my acrylic canvas artistry to the empty walls in people’s homes. I paint color and character on walls in murals that ignore the weather and BRING JOY to homeowners every day of the year.
