A winter day in Auckland, a thought-provoking exhibition, and a quiet moment of returning to my creative practice. After visiting Forever Tomorrow, I came home and let watercolour express what words couldn't. A slow journal about art, movement, and listening to myself.

Over the past few years, my creative practice has quietly evolved. What began as a simple curiosity about watercolour has slowly grown into a visual diary - shaped by slow walks, everyday moments, and the changing seasons of life. In this video, I wanted to share a little more about who I am, how this channel began.

My days have become quieter. I spend less time in my studio and more time reading, moving my body, and simply being at home. Somewhere along the way, I realised that creativity no longer feels like something I have to chase. It quietly appears in the way I live.

A quiet, creative moment inspired by changing seasons, family life, and the small fragments of time I find to paint. This is a gentle reflection on how my art and life continue to shift together.

Find a quiet corner, grab a cup of tea, and paint with me in silence.

The wind and rain have been relentless these past few days, but they’ve gifted me a quiet season for staying in. I finally took a moment to tidy my desk and bring my notebooks back into order - a small ritual that helps me settle into the creative flow. 

Recently, my work has been inspired by traditional Chinese bogu paintings - compositions of simple objects arranged with calm, balance, and space to breathe.

Living by the sea reminds me that strength can be gentle, and depth doesn’t need to be loud.

I made a collage piece about slowing down, returning to play, and listening to that steady blue energy moving beneath it all.

Hello and welcome to Slow Collage, I’m so glad you’re here. 

This is a quiet space for analogue collage, abstract paper textures, and slow art moments. I share simple processes, small experiments, and the gentle rhythm of creating by hand.
