Welcome to 2011 Everyone!

I missed you! I decided to take the same time off that my husband was getting, so we could do family stuff. That’s what life’s all about right? At first it was hard not to get up and write everyday but then I started relaxing and turned my attention to the sketch book to let [...]

Winner Announced & Another Project

I mentioned last week I was still working on a few projects. One of the projects I’ve got going on is a postcard exhibition in Moss, Norway. I decided I would send along a little pen, pencil and watercolour piece I created earlier in the year. The exhibition is curated by David Sandum and all [...]

Getting Rid of Mondayitis

Don’t you just love it when you have a great mail day? Instead of bills all you get are things like cheques, presents and magazines. Well I didn’t get any cheques today sadly (hehe) but I did, however, receive four Artist Trading Cards from four fellow NZ Artists. Yay! A big thank you to Collette [...]

Rewarded Through Service

I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed, is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of [...]

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...

My name is Chavah. They say for a relationship to work you need a dreamer and a realist. I am the dreamer. My dreams are what I MAKE my reality. I am passionately curious, sometimes awkward and I have a somewhat ridiculous but infectious laugh. I live in the deep south of New Zealand, married to my realist husband. I need him, he keeps it real... like realists do. I spend my days raising four out-going children, it's as exhausting as one would imagine. Currently I live and breathe transforming my body into a powerful weapon. It's my new found love, so if you need me - find me at the gym. Actually don't, I dislike talking while I'm training. I've been described as eccentric, I quite like that. The definition of eccentric is 'deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice'; that sounds about right. I'm the crazy creative type, well actually I'm not that crazy. I know exactly what's up but I am creative. I'm an Artist that's exhibited extensively throughout NZ and sold pieces internationally but right now I'm busy raising children so instead my creative tendencies have been refocused on up-cycling furniture, redecorating my home, event planning and writing.

Stick around to read all about it.
