Philly’s home sits surrounded by native bush-clad bluffs, towering over the Anatoki River in Golden Bay. Her work is inspired by this dramatic environment, with the river being a particularly strong influence.She often combines her painting with harakeke (flax) weaving and other natural fibres, adding texture, depth and contrast to her art.
Philly has been painting professionally for ten years. Largely self-taught from an early age, she has also attended art courses both locally and overseas. Living in Golden Bay amongst many talented and creative people is also a wonderful source of inspiration.
Philly owns and operates MONZA Gallery in Takaka, Golden Bay. This charming building holds a collection of fine work by local artists, jewellers, weavers, potters and sculptors. Amongst the delightful array, you will find many examples of Philly's art.

INSPIRATION
The bird and eel symbols in Philly's work represent the movement and flow of life up and down the Anatoki River.From where she lives, the shags fly at eye level from their nesting area out to sea and back again.
The eels also feature strongly in Philly's work as she has spent many hours watching their graceful flowing movements in the water below her home.
