Kia ora, hello, I'm Madeline Campbell. I live near Lake Brunner just outside Māwhera Greymouth on the West Coast of the South Island. I've been in education for 25 years, teaching in secondary schools in South and Central Auckland and the West Coast. I grew up in Central Otago and studied in Dunedin. I've taught lots of subjects, mainly visual arts and social science fields. I completed Masters study in Arts Psychotherapy, and I'm interested in human consciousness and expression, and how people make sense of reality. I live on a property with my partner half covered in native bush with wild deer and pigs running around, a river full of trout running along the bottom of the property, tonnes of native birds, as well as chooks, ducks, a few horses, and a dog and cat. I love Tai Chi, and making art when I can.
