Hi, I'm Teena.

Writer, artist, and founder of Surf Meets Southwest.

I was raised in wide paddocks and quiet places, and today I live between the coast and the hills of Montville, where many of the stories that shaped me slowly find their way onto paper.

I grew up in a wild place called Beam Creek, where horses ran through the paddocks and the wind carried more stories than people.

These days, I divide my time between the coast and the hinterland, creating pieces for Surf Meets Southwest and writing the Wild Remembering series.

Everything you see here, the store, the writing, the cottage in the hills, grew from a life shaped by wild places and quiet remembering.
