I was born in Santiago, Chile, of Hungarian parents.  When I was a child my family immigrated to New Zealand and we later became NZ citizens.

Although mainly self taught as an artist I  received tuition in earlier years from my grandmother, a trained and highly gifted artist and craftsperson in her own right.  From this influence come my love of vibrant colour and diversity of themes that range from those inspired by my Hungarian heritage to those that explore "life's journey" in all its spiritual and physical aspects.

I studied for a Bachelor of Arts Degree at Victoria University of Wellington. On completion of my studies, realising how difficult it would be to earn a living from art alone, I decided on a business career. Over the years this career branched into the area of Human Resources and I eventually became Human Resources Manager for a major New Zealand Corporate.

Today I still keep some connection with the business world through occasional contracting and consulting assignments but my main focus is on art and the continuing development of my  Studio Gallery .

As an established Wellington based artist, I exhibit regularly, undertake commissions and sell paintings to corporate and private collectors in New Zealand and Europe.

My paintings have also appeared in a numerous publications including Panorama Magazine (International) and NZ Home and Garden.
