Our Story
When dreams become reality ....
In 2012 my husband Guy bought me my first 'real' camera and I was hooked. A whole new world suddenly opened up to me and I was fascinated by the process of getting a shot that felt natural, honest and worth holding on to.
Fast forward to 2020, and amidst the chaos of an indescribable year, I found myself searching for pockets of joy and beauty to help refill my happiness bucket. My camera became my constant companion and capturing the beauty, wildness and grace of nature moved from being a fun idea to something I wanted to invest more of my time and energy into.
One Thousand Blooms was launched in September 2020. It is my love letter to nature and my mission to create original NZ wall art that delivers meaning and beauty to your walls.
"Choose what helps your heart bloom"
This quote comes close to summing up why I started my artistic journey and my online gallery. Art is Joy. Art is Inspiring. Art is Energy. Art is Conversation. Art is Culture. Art allows me to express an opinion, to create beauty and to positively impact someone's life. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my time.
And why the name One Thousand Blooms?
It was a motivational goal and a reminder for why I started; to spend time doing something I loved and to bring the beauty of our world back onto centre stage where we can admire it, honour it and protect it.
The Art of Photography
Photography is beautiful, dramatic, mesmerising, and affordable. It is the gateway to your very own art collection. Invest in a few select pieces that add something to your life. A memory, inspiration, a calming energy.
I'm so excited to share my view of the world with 'the world', and I can't wait to see where this 'joy ride' takes me.
Untamed Photography, Just Like Nature
Colourful, Original and Made in NZ, every wall art print contains my love for colour, for beauty and for nature. An Auckland-based New Zealand Photographer, my wall art is best described as untamed; capturing the world as it is - wild, imperfect and always colourful.
My NZ Wall Art Collections have been carefully designed to bring beauty, energy and colour to your walls. Every piece is available for purchase framed or ready-to-frame. Thank you for supporting a NZ small business.
