Aotearoa Playing Card

Concept

I am a visual artist living in New Zealand. I have loved drawing since I was a child. After meeting several artists in New Zealand and winning an award in a local art competition, my passion for art grew. I studied design and art for 4 years at the art college in New Zealand. During my studies, I studied the behaviors and emotions of animals and became convinced that all animals, not only mammals, but also fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds have emotions. Therefore, I am convinced that animal-human relationships, or even relationships between animals of different species, such as fish and dog, cat and iguana, as well as the same species, are possible. Those facts have a huge impact on me as an artist, and when I draw animals, my goal is to capture and express them precisely. That's why I like pen drawings of animals. Currently, I participate in exhibitions and art-related projects locally.
