I am passionate about creating art that tells a compelling story.
As a sculptor my preferred medium is clay. I love how it feels and how quickly the form takes on a life and personality of its own. I am particularly drawn towards sculpting creatures and figurative females who tell their unique story, that creates intrigue, draws the viewer in, willing them to touch, which I actively encourage.
I believe art should be captivating and always evoke an emotional response! I am passionate about animals and I feel deeply privilege to able to sculpt these beautiful creatures and contribute to raising awareness of how critically endangered the are. Together we can make a difference!
I sculpt in many mediums and finishes, although I particularly love casting my sculptures in Foundry Bronze. Choosing different patina finishes on each individual sculpture, of my limited editions, is exciting and brings the entire process together beautifully.
Originally hailing from New Zealand, Min’s rich and diverse heritage reflects a unique blend of Tongan, Samoan, Māori, New Zealand and Scottish ancestry. Born in the jungles of Malaysia, she spent her early childhood immersed in the vibrant cultures of Kuala Lipis, Jamaica, and Hong Kong before continuing her education at the University of Auckland, where she studied Economics and Psychology.
Min's professional journey began in the corporate world, but life took an unexpected turn when her young son became critically ill. This personal challenge led her to reevaluate her path, transitioning from a successful career to dedicating herself to his care. Out of this adversity, a new chapter of creative expression emerged. Now based in the picturesque Cotswolds in Oxfordshire, Min sculpts and paints in her studio, where her heritage and life experiences deeply inform her art.
Known for her extraordinary ability to convey emotion in her contemporary sculptures, Min has earned international recognition and has developed a loyal following of collectors in the United States, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Min is a multi-award winning artist.
Her true passion lies in sculpting, with clay being her preferred medium. She is particularly inspired by wild creatures, capturing moments in their lives that evoke powerful emotions—from serenity and grace to resilience in the face of adversity. Min is deeply passionate about raising awareness for critically endangered animals and donating a percentage of her sales to animal sanctuaries.
