Indigo Wise Award Winning NZ Artist
Indigo has always felt a connection with art. Although not being encouraged to pursue her art meant she didn’t start painting and drawing until 2010, a ‘Creativity for Change’ course unlocked the door and she walked through! When Indigo paints or draws it becomes like breathing to her and space and time have no value. Her art is essential to her, and she strives to breathe life into every finished piece. Her American Indian lineage is evident throughout her work - she also draws on this connection when creating and finds inspiration when she is unsure of how to approach an aspect of her art. Awarded Frank Davis Scholarship in 2015 for Diploma of Art and Creativity (Advanced) Selected for the International Poster Design Competition Francisco Mantecon, in Spain in 2013 Winner Fresh Choice Nelson People's Art Award 2013 (Wine Label) Awarded Oriel Hoskin Scholarship 2012 for Diploma of Art and Creativity with The Learning Connexion, Wellington.
