The years spanning from 2002 to 2019 largely focused on sharing my migration story to New Zealand back in 1999. I used visual storytelling as a way to express the challenges I faced while settling into a new country and my journey as an artist living abroad. After Covid, my style shifted back to a more expressive form, reminiscent of my work before moving to Aotearoa. Now, after over 25 years of living here, I view this period as though I'd written my first picture book.
