Caffeine

First coffee today in 12 months with caffeine in it. I have to say it was pretty weak so I couldn't really tell the difference. Tasty though. 

I have been taking a few shots of my workspace today for The Market NZ. Heres a sneak peek...

I spend a lot of time on my laptop, editing files and further creating artworks once the photograph has been taken. Each Art Print comes signed and dated and is packaged carefully in a clear archival sleeve, with a hard board backing to further protect it. Photo blocks are also pictured. The finished photo block is created by hand with the photograph of choice mounted onto the light weight block. The photo block is then ready to hang or can sit freely on a shelf or mantle. 

Homemade pesto

Best use for fresh basil! Photograph taken with my iPhone. 

Cant get enough

Ever since being pregnant and having a baby to nurture I cant seem to get enough of avocado. A delicious, creamy superfood and what better way to have it, than on toast. I can't wait to try these two recipes I found on Pinterest. Goats Cheese and Avocado Toast and Caprese Avocado Breakfast Toast. YUM!

Another Peony + Duvets

A new peony image entitled 'Lush; now available as a fine art print. Float away in the bright, bold yet soft petals. 

Cover yourself in creativity with our ultra soft microfiber duvet covers. Hand sewn and meticulously crafted, these lightweight duvet covers vividly feature your favorite designs ('Lush' and 'Fawn' pictured above) with a light cream reverse side.

City scape

Loving the winter sun today at Auckland's viaduct. The harbour bridge hiding in the distance. Instagram shot taken with my iPhone. 

Sunny bays

First day of sunshine since moving back to Auckland in June. Nice to be out with my boys enjoying the bays. This panorama taken between Mairangi bay and Murrys bay with my iPhone.
