Lee-Ana’s initial inspiration to jewellery & sculptural work came with Stephen Mulqueen’s classes in the late 80’s summer schools at the Southland Polytechnic. After completing a BCApSc in Design & Clothing at Otago Uni she did a Cert in Visual Arts with a special in jewellery at the Nelson Polytechnic in ‘95.
Connecting with Jennifer Laracy helped revitalise forgotten skills from those initial beginnings.
