‘Eternal moments’ is an ode to the views, sensations and memories from time in nature that stay alive within us eternally.
It is the connection between women and Aotearoa’s land that speaks so loudly.
The accumulation of moments to hear nature’s whispers, to feel her presence, to see her beauty and ruggedness coexist, is where women reconnect with themselves to heal and grow.

The inspiration
I am grateful enough to live amongst the mountains in Queenstown, New Zealand. The joy from exploring these mountains and the southern coast is infused into this collection.
This land has showed me balance, the yin to the yang from 20+ years of living coastal.
The oneness between mother nature and women is strong; her beauty, her rawness, her cycles, her wisdom. When women return to nature they return to themselves.
