Meet Eden…
I am a fine line Tattoo Artist, Designer, Illustrator and Photographer. I am from Mount Maunganui New Zealand.
I have always had a deep passion for creativity and I love being able to share what I can do with others. I have a Bachelor of communication & interaction design Degree, specialising in photography and illustration from AUT 2016. Afterwards I decided to pursue a career in drawing and found a love for tattoos. I worked at a tattoo studio for a while as an apprentice and then created Zeneden, a place where I can share my passion for art with people and have been creating artwork each day ever since. I ran my own studio and business from the Beauty Hq in Mount Maunganui for 2 years, I then moved to Gold Coast Australia for 9 months and then moved back to NZ to work at Seventh Day Studio in Auckland. After losing my house and all belongings in a landslide in Muriwai I am in the process of rebuilding myself and changing my creative avenues. Change is something I have embraced and overtime it becomes a necessary tool for growth. I believe that as long as we remain positive, everything always works out better than imagined.
My art is inspired by botanical and otherworldly themes and I use a lot of black and white detail in my work. I’m always expanding my subject matter but mainly enjoy drawing flora and fauna and human figures, focusing on the space, creating sophistication through simplicity. It’s interesting watching my style grow, capturing new mediums and inspirations.
I am so grateful for this journey and amazing, supportive community. I wonder where it will take me next, I’m open to all custom and collaboration work of any medium. Feel free to email me with any questions or ideas.
