I’m helping raise vital funds for breast cancer education, research and patient support.
Every year 3,700 New Zealanders are diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 650 will die .
By fundraising for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, I’m helping fund –
- Ground-breaking projects by some of our countries top researchers
- Education about breast health, the importance of regular screening and the signs and symptoms of breast cancer
- Free support services for breast cancer patients and their families
Donate today to help make zero deaths from breast cancer a reality.
My Updates
Art with Heart
Monday 27th Apr
Supporting Breast Cancer Foundation NZ through every sale
As a Wairarapa artist, I create illustrated Swedish dishcloths designed to bring beauty and practicality into everyday life.
Until 31 May, $1 from every sale, whether online or at my markets, will be donated to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.
I’ve called this initiative Art with Heart because I wanted my work to contribute in a meaningful way beyond the everyday.
As a wife, mother and grandmother, this cause feels deeply personal.
I care about a future where women have access to screening, treatment and support — for ourselves, for our daughters and granddaughters, and for generations to come.
Supporting breast cancer awareness and care feels like one small but practical way to contribute to that future.
More Than a Practical Product
My Swedish dishcloths are often described as art you can clean with — everyday items illustrated from my own artwork and designed to be both useful and joyful.
During this campaign, each purchase supports two things:
- A practical product for your home
- Support for an important cause
How It Works
For a limited time, $1 from every sale — online and at my markets — will be donated to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.
Simple, practical giving with heart.
Why Small Purchases Matter
I believe small acts add up.
Sometimes support begins in ordinary ways — a thoughtful purchase, a shared cause, a simple act of care.
This is my way of letting everyday art give back.
