Hey! I'm Jaz.
I'm an artist and illustrator living ocean side in Papamoa, New Zealand.
I’m a detail-obsessed, chocolate devouring plant killer. I love options and ideas. I'm an INFP and an Enneagram 9... basically, I just want everyone to be friends!
My happy place is creating art. I paint original art and large scale murals. I also bringy artwork into the digital world with illustration, textile and surface pattern design.
My work has been printed on stationery, homewares, textiles, coffee cups and also installed in private homes, commercial interiors and large scale murals.

About my creative process
With over 13 years in fashion design, I fell into the art world after painting my first large scale mural.
My creative process is heavily influenced by my background in textile design.
Illustration, murals and surface pattern designs all begin with paper collage or hand drawn details. I then play with composition, layering and colour digitally.
