I am an artist whose creative journey began over 20 years ago, when a close friend encouraged me to explore the world of painting

Proud to be Local — brought to you by CFM — is our inspirational feature, highlighting home-grown Coromandel Peninsula folks doing wonderful things out in the world.
At the time of my employment in 2016, Great Mercury Island had only just been officially recognised as a pest-free island, after a major pest eradication in 2014 focused primarily on rats, but also feral cats.
When I started working at Coromandel Outdoor Language Centre in 1990, I knew very little about Saudi Arabia, except that it had a lot of oil and a lot of sand.
I grew up in a small town called Tokoroa. A town built on pine forestry, farming and sustained by a pulp mill. Conservation and nature was not a key part of the local culture.
