Returning home to New Zealand and the love of my life Stewart Gunn in 1993 we began a family, living near the foothills of the Southern Alps in Canterbury. Once our children were school aged, I returned to my art practice graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (University of Canterbury) in 2009 and furthered this with a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Teaching and an exhibition in the same year at the Brooke Gifford Gallery along side Bill Hammond.
I am proud to have original works held in private collections in New Zealand, England, France, Switzerland and the U.S.A.
