New Piece

This was inspired by some pieces by an unknown artist(to me anyway). I saw their work in a magazine and just loved them, then felt inspired to create my own using experiences from my past. I plan on doing more using little stories from my life. Here is the story behind this one: He (my [...]

Recent Works

I’m having a lot of fun experimenting with colours and textures at the moment. I recently sold some paintings on Trade Me which I haven’t attempted to do in a while, not because I didn’t sell, because trust me, there was no problem there but because of the way some people in the art community [...]

Playing With Resin

Yesterday I made my first attempt at finishing a piece with resin. It seemed so daunting so I enlisted some help from my husband, just to make sure I was following instructions properly! So far so good, we mixed it properly, spread it evenly, and blew the bubbles out and it has been sitting on [...]

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.
