8. Your lifelong dream?

9. What are you doing to help the environment?
I avoid fast fashion and mend or reuse what I can. I also try to eat homemade, in-season, and locally grown food.
10. What were you doing before TPR and what brought you here?
I was studying for a bachelor of visual arts, majoring in printmaking. It’s such a niche subject, and working for TPR lets me expand on my practice.
11. Take a snap of something that makes you happy:
The first roll of ink on a fresh woodcut!
12. If you had unlimited Airpoints and could go to one country tomorrow, where would it be and why?
Probably Norway to experience the 24-hour sunlit days
13. If you could print for any client, who would that dream client be?
Metallica band tees!
14. You’re having a dinner party at your house. What do you make?
Some kind of fresh pasta with garlic bread
15. You’re allowed three famous guests at this dinner party. Who are they and why?
Marilynn Webb - she’s my favourite printmaker and I would love to spend an evening discussing her practice
Paul Cocksedge - an incredible artist also focussing on design and innovation. His work has inspired me many times
Jackie Chan - he seems fun and could teach me some self-defence!
