Looking for an investment that won't break the bank? Invest in art! You can enjoy it while you wait for its value to grow. Join the thousands of people across the globe who found the value of investing in art. I aim to be an International artist and already have clients in Europe, London, USA and Asia.

For a visual showcase of what I do,

I have been invited to attend the International Women’s Day in Vienna in March 2008 and will be exhibiting my art pieces at the International show in Artemis of Aberdeen in Australia in October 2008. By supporting me, you will also be part of my community work helping school children achieve their dreams as well as my various social projects.!

My family and I left my husband's home country of Indonesia in 1998 because of the riots and troubles. Since March 1999 we have been living in beautiful New Zealand and thankful for the new beginnings. Life has not been easy here but we go from strength to strength. Having gone through all that we have, we are determined to be a blessing to others. My husband had a lucrative singing career in Indonesia and a big family so I would say he was the hardest hit with the move. Through it all we find that home is truly where the heart is and our hearts belong within the three of us, husband, wife and son.

My art career began in 1995 while I was living in Indonesia and I restarted it again in 2004 when a friend challenged me to tap into my creative energy and be who I really want to be, an artist!
