🌈 My journey with colour

Born with eyesight challenges, I first experienced the wonder of colour after surgery at age five. That life-changing moment shaped my art and continues to inspire everything I create. At Waikanae Paper Artist and The Papercraft Studio NZ, you’ll find uplifting, spiritual, and unique designs — perfect for your home or as thoughtful gifts for loved ones.

💫 Thank you for supporting my art journey. I hope you discover something here that speaks to you, grounds you, and brings joy to your day — no matter how far from home you are. May you always feel you belong. Warm regards,
Nicky — Waikanae Paper Artist Limited (New Zealand)

Become Disciplined – Quite the Paradox for a Creative

Creativity and discipline often feel like opposites… but in truth, they fuel each other. ✨

In this post, I share practical ways to create space for your spark to shine:
✅ Organising your art and workspace
✅ Planning your releases with rhythm
✅ Embracing mistakes as progress
✅ Finding joy in small daily acts of creating

It’s not about rules — it’s about giving yourself freedom through structure. 💜
