Welcome to my website, a window into my world of shoes boots sandals belts and bags.
My studio is located at no1 Ridge Road, Oneroa, Waiheke Island, a 5 min walk from the village. A great spot to visit as you begin your Waiheke Island artmap walk, cycle or drive. Studio visitors are welcome - gain an insight into the history behind shoemaking & why repairable goods are more sustainable. I'm usually in studio 10 - 4 weekdays or by prior arrangement for other times.
