“I am a kiwi artist/dancer/surfer originally from Muriwai beach, NZ who is inspired by movement and nature. I started painting as soon as I could get my hands on the materials and in kindergarten would spend the entire day painting without a break. In high school I studied IB painting and received a scholarship to complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Melbourne but couldn’t handle being so far from the ocean. After 6 months I returned home and have since travelled the world for inspiration.

Babes N waves is all about graceful movement and living in the present moment. Bold colours and fluid paint stokes reflect the boho surf shacks and hostels I stayed in while I surfed around South America and Central America. During my journey I befriended seductive Brazilian girls, hippie surfers, yogis and also met my husband surfing one of the longest lefts in the world in Chicama, Peru.

I love the Ocean and am it breaks my heart when I see rubbish floating in the sea around the world. Therefore, 10% of profits from this shop will be donated towards Boyan Slat’s Ocean Cleanup technology–you can find out more here: www.theoceancleanup.com
