About Me:
New Zealander by choice, Celtic by descent, Indigenous in Spirit...
Originally from the North of England, from Irish and Scottish Ancestry, I am lucky enough to have lived in beautiful New Zealand (Aotearoa) for many years, which has become a home of my soul. I resided in Canada, which fast became an integral part of my spirit before returning home to New Zealand.
Classically trained at Rochdale Art College in North of England, I now choose to follow my own creative path, and allow my art to unfurl as it will.
I am inspired by the natural beautiful colour and spirituality that surround us all in this incredible world that we share. I love the rich arts, the proud history and the vibrant cultures that surround me, and indeed, I am thrilled by the connections and inter-connections of all peoples throughout the world, and how our histories and legends combine to illuminate our path.
I mainly work in oils and acrylics on canvas, book illustrations and ‘Spirit Paintings’. Most of my work is pre-commissioned, however I do exhibit my work periodically.

ABOUT THE NAMING
25th May 2011
I was honoured greatly to be given a name by the Misabi Clan of the Anishinabae People of Canada.
This name came in the ‘old way’ (through a dream) and was gifted to me by Agawatessengawi’is (an Elder of the Misabi Clan) before he would view a painting that he commissioned me to complete.
That name is “…Naniskakonindji’in…” (pronounced Nah NISS- Kah… (softly) Ko NEEN Jen…)
Which means…
“These Things That Flow From Her Fingers”
I am greatly honoured and humbled by this, and vowed to sign all my works thus from this day forward!
Meegwetch
Which means- “I Am Honored And Humbled To Have Your Life Touch Mine”)
The name ‘Naniska’ is an abbreviation, and is only used on the front of my works.
IN CONCLUSION
