Kia ora, nau mai – Hello, welcome

Ko Ngāti Porou ki Hauraki, raua ko Ngāpuhi oku iwi.

I’m Anthea, an artist and techie based in Papa Aroha (Coromandel) and Auckland, New Zealand.

This is my personal website, where I occasionally publish content for my personal projects or (in the past) simply to keep record. The blog started in 2008 on Tumblr, I moved to this self-hosted situation using WordPress in 2018. Nothing is ever gone if it’s been put online, so my archives are still searchable.


I’m delighted to be working in the Fractional Leadership of simpact AI, a female-founded organisation leveraging AI to produce better impact reports and other insightful publications, faster, for community organisations and the financiers who fund them.


I am also passionate about nail art, am a fully qualified Nail Technician, and contract as a Mentor for Monaco Nail Academy. Use code “ANTHEA” for 10% off registration fees for any Monaco course, I’ll get affiliate return too 🙂
