May 2012 I was asked by Napier Carlyle Kindergarten if I would create a piece of artwork with the Children, our focus was the Matariki (Maori New Year celebration) I was keen to identify a place the children were familiar with so we chose Napier Bluff Hill, close to home -  On top observing the spectaculiar seven sisters in the night sky beyond are a group of parents with their
children.

Completed a Workshop with Suzette Major at EIT "Business of Being an Artist"  based on turning creative talent into a successful arts career. It was fabulous, and gave me a lot of inspiration! She is running another in September 2012, well worth it!
