[FLOX]
With her roots firmly stamped within the street art era of the early 2000s, FLOXs trademark style derived from the natural world is unquestionably recognisable today.
The artist has always maintained a philosophy of making art for the people and making her art accessible which saw FLOX take her own artistic lane by avoiding the traditional artist/gallery relationship. Today, FLOX is one of Aotearoa's most recognised artists, spreading her ever expanding wings both locally and internationally with mural projects, commissions, product lines, brand colabs and workshops. 
Painting site specific murals, FLOX gives voice to local narratives and environmental issues, often in collaboration with surrounding communities. As her brand has grown globally, FLOX has travelled ever wider,creating works that celebrate native, endangered or rare flora and fauna around the world, determined to put the subject of nature and its ever precarious position in this world, at the forefront of her practice.
