@pamcrawford2 @skryb @Mihi_Forbes I learnt about Tudor whakapapa and the wives of Henry the 8th at school. It was compulsory and of no relevance

"Waka Blonde" - Acrylic paint on #Porcelain, #flax, #feathers and #wool. Fabric printed by Jeanine Clarkin. I liked it because it remind me of the #Dali #koura dress #MaoriArt #BiculturalArt #NewZealandArt

Never underestimate the power of failure. Failure is often a road to somewhere better.

Creative New Zealand gave me a grant to paint. Very grateful for that. Means I get to try things I’ve wanted to without being worried about the outcome. Strange things. Some things are working. Others aren’t. More staring to follow. Then, some doing.

The paintings are only with me for a short time. They go on to live with people, their families and friends. They become part of their lives in a different way from what motivated me to create them. I'm interested in what art means to other people.
