Diva Ford

SUNDAY 28 JULY

Kia ora my name is Diva and I am a multi disciplinary artist and creative arts therapist living, loving and learning here in Tāmaki Makaurau. I use a variety of mediums to explore the wacky, wonderful, surreal and strange worlds of imagination, express lived experiences, and speak to themes around well-being and what it means to be human living in this world together :) I got into zine-making as a way to bring my painting and poetry practices together, and over the years this has grown to include illustration, collage, photography and more. My art practice is grounded in the magic of creativity as a way to tell stories and connect, explosions of colour, and an openness to experimentation, transformation and play!
