Good afternoon everyone! This year I am taking part in the Mahurangi Artist’s Studio Trail. My studio will be open between 10am to 4pm from Friday 30th Jan to Sunday 8th Feb (inclusive).

A great opportunity to come and have a look at the studio and my residence, and if you fancy purchasing some art - I have an array of exciting objects for sale.

The event starts with an opening night on Thursday 29th Jan at the Warkworth Town Hall, see photos attached for further details.

Look forward to seeing those that can make it.

Joy 😊

Hi all,
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Maria who runs the youtube channel 'Multiple Arts and Artisans'. It was wonderful to be able to share more about my love for art in all of its forms.

Take a listen if you get the chance (its a bit long as its hard to stop me talking...) and share it amongst your family and friends.

Cheers,
Joy
