ART FOR THE SOUL DVD - NOW ONLINE


INTRO & IN THE JUNGLE

Sand Art

Insights

These videos showcase some work you can see in 'The Sandman Show'- filmed by award winning director Shae Sterling.


My background is in street art - taking sand art to the stage was a challenge. I went from starting out painting on a banana box at the Otara Fleamarkets, as raw and humble as it was - it's where I found my confidence to perform art live.


These videos help show that journey from streets to stage- live sand art and ink art- a new form of entertainment.


When I first started out performing live on cruise ships people would clap all over the place seeing imagery done live - and it sounded really 'ugly'! A cruise director noted that they loved the art - but I needed some kind of 'clap control'. 


'In the Jungle' is what I use to help warm up the crowd - and teach them my specific 'clap control' signal. 

This hopefully gets their attention... because there is always that lot that doesn't! lol!


'A MĀORI STORY OF CREATION'

Sand Art

Insights

Inspired by artists online, and encouraged by others to try sand art. Richard Jefferies ( CEO of Vodafone Events Centre at the time) saw potential in me from previous encounters, and sponsored my first lightbox.


What stories could I tell? How could I use this medium?


Being passionate about my own culture - 'A Māori Tale of Creation' was born, and I have been able to share the beautiful stories within my culture around the world and it is something that I am proud to do.


This was my first ever sand art piece - and it was used to help open the countries largest art market 'The Original Art Sale'.


'INSPIRED BY BEAUTY'

 Ink Art

Insights

Grateful to live and grow up in New Zealand - surrounded by natural beauty, culture and spirit.


This art piece is of no specific place, but a reflection of some of the peaceful landscapes that I have experienced here and abroad, that just leave you feeling refreshed renewed and in awe.


Before sand art , I was into speed painting techniques practiced only by a handful of artists, and I have travelled and learned from different artists around the world.


This technique uses a special ink, on high- gloss ( like photographic) paper. 

'DEVOTED TO DEPARTED'

Ink Art

Insights

This piece is a representation of the journey from this life to the next of a paradisical place.

Passing on is one of the inevitables of life - a time to reflect, ponder and be grateful.

'Carpe Diem' Seize the day!

lIts a privilege to be able to travel - especially with recent world events made me appreciate more the amazing cutures and places in the world.


This celebrates some of the amazing landmarks around the world - bonus points if you've been fortunate enough to visit all of them!

'GROWING OLD TOGETHER'

 Sand Art

Insights

Everybody deserves a happily ever after. One of the things I adore being onboard cruise ships - is being able to see the affection given of couples who have been together 50- 60 years- it is beautiful to see.


Its ok if you don't have a partner too - the most important person to love is yourself!  


To your happily ever after!
