This website showcases my work as a freelance writer.
I've been writing a few articles for The Press supplements recently. For Your Weekend, I caught up with three professional graffiti artists working to bring some colour into Sydenham (Colombo St). They've done a massive collaborative art work there - very cool. As I note in the article, Sydenham's becoming a creative hub: nearby is Wayne Youle's giant shadow board, also on Colombo Street, and adjacent to it is the Pops and Bro Town mural. This feature - Wall Art - was published on Saturday, April 14.
On a completely different note, Zest published my article on foraging for wild mushrooms at this time of year. Porcini is the real prize. There are some devoted foragers out there ... though, of course, you need a good guide on the subject to make sure that what you're collecting is safe to eat! Zest published this article (Prized Porcini) on April 18.
For April's In Business space in Avenues magazine, I wrote about former teacher Richard Gardiner's hobby of making scale model houses. Almost all his latest commissions have been for models of red-stickered houses in Christchurch. It's a good way for people to remember their treasured family homes, now facing demolition.
There is a wonderful trust in North Canterbury, working hard to give respite care in the country for children and young people who need it. I wrote about this trust - the Eleazar Family Support Trust - in Latitude magazine's latest edition. The dedicated husband and wife team behind this trust are John and Margaret Merrylees. (More at www.eleazar.org.nz).
Also for Latitude, I contributed an article on Rangiora-based photographer Abi Wiseman, currently on refreshment leave as a teacher to pursue her passion of photography. She has opened a gallery in her garage and has some truly inspiring images on display there.
I've also been enjoying writing for Heritage Matters and North & South.
