The Garden Studio

I’m an Auckland based internationally certified makeup artist, my love of makeup started at a very early age. After completing a course at The Academy of Film and Television makeup. I’ve been working in all aspects of the industry including Theatrical, Television, Film, Magazine, Fashion, Bridal and also teaching makeup.
Born in New Zealand, I’ve recently made the move back home to New Zealand with my husband after eleven years living and working in London. My experience in the highly visible London fashion industry gave me a spring board which has enabled me to really hone my skills.
Since moving back I’ve worked as National Pro-Artist for Smashbox Cosmetics, and I’m now freelancing for MAC Cosmetics and TVNZ as well as my own studio by the waterfront in my hometown of Devonport.


“After more than 20 years in the industry, I still get excited when I see a client ready to either walk down the aisle, ready for the runway, filming or a photoshoot, and that is why I approach every client with the individual care, enthusiasm and personal attention they deserve for their special event.”



From New Zealand to London, Greece and the South of France. Some of the clients I’ve worked with are…..
