All about Audrey
Iam a French teacher and artist who arrived in NZ in 2019. My family and I come from Niort, close to La Rochelle, on the west coast of France.
It is a new challenge to live in NZ with my husband and my two children, Matteo (7) and Quentin (10). We think it is a good way to discover a new culture and learn the English language.
We arrived in Ōmokoroa in 2019 with only our suitcases. Luckily, people were lovely and welcoming to us. I met Matthew and Liz to help me out and easily made some new friends. Thanks everyone for supporting us on our arrival!
Why did we choose NZ? Because my husband was here 17 years ago with a Working Holiday visa and he loved the country. My dream was to live overseas. He said “OK if it’s in NZ” and I said “Go for it.” We stopped our two companies in
France and we bought four tickets!
I taught communication and marketing at school in France. I was a consultant and trainer in advertising and strategy for my corporate clients. In NZ, I give private French lessons for adults at home and for kids in Ōmokoroa Point School and Number One.
I also like to paint, it is a real passion. Celebrating France and New Zealand, I tell my story and travels through my art.
I love painting fish, sails and ladies on the beach. I also enjoy promoting women around the world.
I work with different techniques to create unique and colorful paintings. I prefer to draw contemporary and modern pictures. I am a very positive and enthusiastic woman. I think that is why my painting are always very colourful.
I organise art classes for kids every Thursday afternoon in Whakamārama.
I also organise painting workshops for adults in Tauranga and painting nights in Whakamārama every third Friday of the month. I can also set up a tailor-made event for you.
