Wendy
Hola, I am from Colombia and 17 and from a city called Cali. I arrived in New Zealand 3 years and 5 months ago. I find Nelson a bit quiet and maybe once I finish school I want to move to Auckland. I heard about Cultural Conversations through friends, and I am interested in other people’s art. Therefore, it is great to connect here with the artists and maybe I will find inspiration to do my own!.

Hola, I'm Claudia from Colombia.
I have been living in NZ for 4 years and love my life in Nelson. Making gifts in general and toys for Christmas is something I enjoy a lot. I'm so glad to be part of the opportunities Cultural Conversations provides, particularly to join in the many craft activities.
I hope you find something that speaks to you in my art and thank you for your support.
