I recently opened  Empire Art & Collectables in my local village of Paparoa.  Empire provides an outlet for my own work, but also enables me to represent other kiwi artists and artisans with similar ethos.    The Black Pixie is all about art and beautiful craft created using recycled and repurposed items,  so it's no surprise the store has been created in that vein.  The result is an eclectic offering of art, homewares, giftware, furniture and jewellery that is unique, affordable, quirky and slightly cheeky.   ​Empire also stocks beautiful local artisan products, natural and organic skincare and beauty products.  The shop is in heart of the beautiful Kaipara village of Paparoa. just an hour and a half from Auckland.  If you aren't able to make it in person,  you can buy online by clicking on the "Shop Now" button below to go through to Empire's E shop, or you can contact me through the contact page.
