During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 – 2021, Auckland’s Pullman Hotel was one of the country’s MIQ facilities. That has meant that a large number of Kiwis who were once stranded overseas were able to return home to visit their friends and whanau. Throughout this period, I exhibited a number of my paintings in the main lobby of the hotel in many returning Kiwis saw these paintings at during their mandatory isolation period.
