About me

Gender Female
Industry Arts
Occupation Artist & Mum
Location Auckland, New Zealand
Introduction I'm the cephalopod loving redhead behind Ginga Squid studio. In previous lives I've been an engineer, accountant, scuba instructor and most recently - a mum to 2 gorgeous little kiddies (well they are most of the time)! I love creating things - it keeps me sane. I particularly love sourcing interesting, unusual and rare natural gemstones and fossils (its my equivalent of a shoe addiction). I also love colour - bring it on! I like to use beads in my work that I can buy Fair Trade from developing countries, so helping the craftspeople directly. My website is http://www.GingaSquid.com
Interests Art, quality tattoos, motorbikes, exotic travel, scuba, platform shoes/boots, jewellery (making it) and new media, reading, chocolate, pink fizzy wine.
