Bio

"It's a small world until you have to paint it"
I received an art degree and became a scenic artist in my home, New York City in 1994. I worked on music videos, commercials and print for cd packaging for various artists and labels. I combined my steel sculpture and scenic background, using both paint and metal finishes to create backdrops, custom props, and sets. In 2004 I worked on a Kiwi production in NYC (Louis Vuitton 150th anniversary, IOP Productions) which led to a job offer on “The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe” in New Zealand with Film FX LTD, and then as a prop painter for Weta Workshop. I remained in NZ, married, and started a family and transitioned into the fitness industry as a qualified Olympic Weightlifting and Strength and Conditioning Coach. Now a NZ citizen, I set numerous records in Olympic Weightlifting and represented New Zealand in the Masters’ World championship in 2019 in Montreal so I’m still strong enough to lift 10 litre bucket! have now returned to my role as a scenic and hope to follow this endeavor here in New Zealand.
