Nandita

Kia ora, I’m Nandita (Fernanda) — a visual artist, filmmaker, and educator. I use art as a bridge to presence, self-discovery, and wellbeing. Originally from Argentina and based in Aotearoa since 2018, my practice centers on collage — a medium that connects us with the present moment and unveils what lies beneath the surface. I consider creating images a fundamental way of inhabiting the world — a practice through which we perceive, relate, and transform our surroundings. I studied Cinema and Visual Arts, and later specialized in paper-based techniques with Arte Andarín. I’m also a certified Life Coach in New Zealand, integrating mindfulness and coaching into my creative work. After a transformative experience in 2024, collage became my anchor for healing and presence. Today, through Creative Presence, I facilitate workshops and one-on-one sessions that nurture authentic expression and wellbeing. ✨ I’m here to walk alongside you — with creativity and purpose.

This is your invitation to do just that — and come home to yourself through the creative process. A 6-week group journey centered on collage as an arts-based path to wellbeing — to reconnect with your true self, find clarity, and awaken authentic creativity. Available online or in person. Born from my experience as a Visual Artist and Life Coach, this workshop gently invites you to pause, be present, and create from within. Through the meditative practice of collage and creative exploration, you will: Reconnect with your inner calm Access your intuition Express your authentic voice Cultivate emotional clarity and balance This goes beyond making art — it’s a space to explore, feel, and heal through your hands, allowing creativity to guide you back to yourself.
