Today marks six weeks in Melbourne, after being home in Aotearoa for four years. I have been blessed with wonderful friends to stay with, and I am grateful to all the fabulous people on my Melbourne trip. It has been an intense healing, shedding and RECALIBRATION time, and I am happy with the fun new directions that my work is now heading in.
Just today I have added Sri Lanka and South India into my travels plans for around the August - September period and I feel very pleased about this. The first and last time that I visited India with my older sister, was about twenty years ago now, and I always did want to go back, particularly to the South. I have also always wanted to visit Sri Lanka, and am particularly looking forward to the TEMPLES, artisans and HOT WEATHER.
I am still refining the new eBooks that I have been developing (there are several), and each day they are getting better and I am ironing out my process, editing, macrons, formatting, designing the style elements, and configuring the reader display between laptop viewing and phone viewing.
‘HOW TO HAVE A STAY HOME ART RETREAT’ and ‘THE CLOAK OF UENUKU’ are available now on my blog, and they now have pastel rainbow colored pages, which I’m happy about too…several of my upcoming eBooks will now feature these signature pastel rainbow colored pages, which look so soft, pretty and gorgeous.
I have some Tā Moko (Māori Tattoo) bookings available in Melbourne (Ballarat) for July 2026.
I am working on a new collection of small one off original paper works called ‘RECALIBRATION’ which will be available to purchase soon. I am currently loving a bone, blush, sage, cream, white, lilac, and blues colour palette.
I will also have some LIMITED EDITION hand signed A4 high quality 300gsm art prints of ‘TE ATA PŪAO’ available to buy soon. I am working on a little progress, improvements, and upgrades every day, and gaining clarity on my moves forward and what I want to do next. Grateful To God!
Ngaa mihi nui,
