What I make

A small, considered collection, each piece handmade and unlikely to be repeated.

Original Paintings

Handpainted original works, each one finished and never reproduced. If it sells, it's gone, which is rather the point.

One-of-a-kind originals
NZ-made
Fewer than 10 available at any time

Clay Home Décor

Handformed clay pieces that bring warmth and texture to shelves, tables, and living spaces. Every piece shows the maker's hand.

How commissions work

From idea to finished piece

Custom commissions follow a simple, unhurried process, you're involved at every step before any work begins.

Tell me what you have in mind

Share your thoughts on colours, size, style, and what the piece is for, a new home, a gift, a bare wall that needs something special.

We agree on the concept

We talk through the details together until you're happy with the direction, then I confirm the final concept before I begin.

I create your piece

I make your painting or clay piece by hand, taking the time it needs to be right rather than rushing to fill an order.

Delivered to your door

Your finished piece is carefully packaged and sent to you anywhere in New Zealand.

Why buy here

Pieces you won't find anywhere else

Genuinely one-of-a-kind

Fewer than ten pieces available at any time, mostly unique, once a piece sells, it's gone. There's no factory, no restock, no edition.

Commissions agreed before I start

For custom work, we discuss colours, size, and details together and settle on the concept before I pick up a brush or touch clay, no surprises.

Made to feel right in your home

Not sure if a piece will suit your space? Ask before you buy, I'm happy to talk through dimensions, tones, and how a piece might sit in a real room.

Kind words

“I bought a clay piece for my sister's housewarming and it was exactly right, you could feel how much thought had gone into making it. She keeps it on her mantelpiece and gets compliments on it constantly.”

“The commission process was really reassuring. We talked through what I was after, Alexandra confirmed the idea, and the painting arrived looking even better in person than I'd imagined.”

“I was nervous about buying art online without seeing it in my space first, but Alexandra was happy to chat about colours and dimensions beforehand. The piece fits perfectly.”

Questions

Frequently asked

Will this piece suit my home?: That's the most common question I get, and I'm glad you're asking it. Before you buy, send me a message with a photo of your space or a description of your colours and I'll give you an honest answer.
Can I request a specific size or colour?: Yes, custom commissions are available for both paintings and clay pieces. We discuss your preferences together and agree on the final concept before I begin, so you know exactly what's coming.
Do you ship across New Zealand?: Yes, I deliver to anywhere in New Zealand. All pieces are carefully packaged to arrive safely.
How many pieces do you have available?: I keep a small collection, fewer than ten pieces at any time, most of them one-of-a-kind. When a piece sells it's gone, so if something catches your eye it's worth getting in touch soon.
How long does a custom commission take?: It depends on the piece. Once we've agreed on the concept, I'll give you an honest timeframe. I won't rush work just to meet a deadline, quality matters more.
