About

Zee is an artist, writer, photographer, and maker of zines.

She finds inspiration in the beautiful and wild natural environment, and the wild things that live there. Her own claim to wildness is an untamed imagination, which comes through particularly in her fictional stories.

From her home & studio in the shadow of Puketapu (sacred hill), fed by the Waihemo (dwindle river), you will find a collection of her stories, photography, and zines for sale that embrace creative expression and capture nature’s exquisite beauty.

When not writing or making art, you’ll find Zee out in her abundant garden, strumming her ukulele, or cozying up with a good book & a strong cup of tea.
