TANTRA Art - Curator of Private Artists Studio Experiences - Queenstown New Zealand

Art, Wine, Wellness, Culture, Agriculture, Star Gazing & Music

Welcome to my corner of the world, here in the Wakatipu Basin near Queenstown, New Zealand.

After many years living in this remarkable region, I have brought together my background in the travel industry, curating art exhibitions, and event planning to create ‘Private Artist Studio Experiences’. This work was born from a simple idea that the most meaningful experiences are not found in places, but in people, stories, and connection.

A More Personal Way to Experience Art. Art, in all its forms, is a language. It is a way of expressing what cannot always be said—whether through paint, material, movement, or craft. These experiences offer something beyond observation. They invite you into conversation, into presence, and into the creative spaces where ideas take shape. Rather than viewing art at a distance, you are welcomed into the artist’s world—where the process, inspiration, and meaning behind the work can be shared in a natural and unhurried way.

A Thoughtfully Curated Approach With a deep appreciation for people and a natural ability to connect across cultures, I curate each experience with care, sensitivity, and intention. Every encounter is: Bespoke and personally arranged. Designed to feel relaxed and genuine rooted in respect for both artist and guest, you are not guided through a schedule—you are introduced into a space. A space where connection can unfold, where stories are exchanged, and where you can experience a more intimate and authentic side of life in this region.

Supporting Local Artists & Community At the heart of this work is a commitment to supporting local artists and their creative practice. By offering these private encounters, we create opportunities for artists to share their work more personally, while also allowing visitors to engage with the region in a way that is meaningful, respectful, and enriching. It is a quiet way of contributing to a thriving, creative community.

I have always been drawn to creating experiences that bring people together—moments that feel genuine, memorable, and human. With a love for connection, conversation, and discovery, it is a pleasure to introduce you to this more personal side of Queenstown and its surrounding areas.

I look forward to welcoming you and sharing something truly special.

“At its root, tantra refers to the weaving together of knowledge, experience, and human connection. This philosophy sits at the heart of what we offer—intimate encounters with artists in their own spaces, where stories, process, and meaning are shared in depth.”

“Arrive curious, leave inspired”
