About Me
I’m a visual artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) from Massey University, specialising in expressionist portraiture and exhibitions. I'm seeking a role in an art gallery to deepen my knowledge in creative and curatorial environments. I bring a strong foundation in both artistic production and collaborative projects, and I’m passionate about making art accessible and supporting emerging artists, working toward my goal of running a gallery of my own.
