Hayley King - Flox
Flox is currently one of the leading female stencil-based artists in New Zealand today. She is a clothing designer, painter, mural contract worker, business operator, and a mum. Flox is a member of the Cut Collective, a group of artists who paint interior and exterior mural jobs, exhibit together and run their own individual businesses from CCHQ, Poynton Terrace Auckland CBD.
Flox is a self confessed workaholic and is very dedicated to making a living out of what she is passionate about. “I knew it was going to be hard, if not impossible to make a living out of my art, but I was not prepared to push it aside in favour of a nine to fiver. So in 2005 I started up my own clothing line. It was my intention to have the two disciplines working in sync with one another, so both my art and the clothing could promote each other and be branded under the one umbrella.” And she has done just that. You can find Flox’s wares at the new City Designer’s Market on High Street in Auckland CBD, and at various stockists throughout New Zealand. Check out her latest paintings, prints and merch at the new Cut Collective HQ any day of the week, or alternatively, these websites to get the full story……
