I'm probably the slowest painter out there, but I'm getting back into the swing of things. It's been 20 years since I last used oils and months since I last painted, so I'm pretty happy with my progress. About 3/4 of the way there! 🎨

2 weeks to go before I take on 42km at 42 for Te Tahi Youth, to raise money for the amazing services they provide, including much needed free counselling sessions for young people. 🩷

I headed out yesterday for an "easy" 10km, and as you can see in the video, I'm not that runner that ever looks forward to a run!

Please share wide and far, and thanks so much to everyone who has supported my fundraising so far. You're absolute legends. 👊

Hey lovely friends and followers! 🎨💛

I know this page has been quite quiet this year. More work is coming soon, I promise! However, for the next four weeks, I’m switching gears a bit — I’m in the final four weeks of training to run a marathon! 🏃‍♀️ But this isn’t just about running. I’m fundraising for a cause close to my heart: youth mental health support with Te Tahi Youth here in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

I will be getting back to art and creativity and colour really soon - including Christmas specials! - but for just a few weeks, I’ll be sharing my journey towards 42km at 42 years old and why it matters so much to me.

I’d love your support, whether that’s cheering me on, sharing my posts, or donating if you can. And there'll even be some poster and print give aways thrown in. 🎨✨.

Thanks for being here — your support means the world 💖

Gosh this painting lark’s a lot slower than I remembered! 🤪
