Patricia Howitt

I am an artist and illustrator, formerly a lawyer with the NZ Government.

My last project won 5 awards, including finalist in the NZ Post Children's Book Awards for 2013, Non Fiction Category - see http://taketakerau.com

During my career in law, I spent my spare time in the New Zealand high country, and that and the place where I now live (photos above) are the main inspirations for my art.

I've freelanced in graphic design on the Internet for about 9 years, working on website, header and banner design, and some special projects for several clients worldwide. I'm also involved in Internet marketing.

I have my own websites, an online home small business, and art shops at Fine Art America and Society6 - see links below.
