Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to my site!

Hi. I’m Dinah Priestley. Welcome to my site. I’m a New Zealand artist, writer, actor and oral historian. This site is mainly my pictures of people, past and present.

I’m an uncontrollable sketcher of people.I love it when my cartoons, paintings, batiks and children’s book illustrations make people laugh.

Feel free to look around.

People and travel open the mind…
