About the designer

Greta Tapper’s calling to art began early and was fostered by her uncle, who left a lasting, and somewhat eccentric, impression upon her.

She studied for a diploma in Fashion in Textiles in Nelson, New Zealand, she continued to study costume for film, theatre and television, and then completed a Bachelor of Visual Art degree. 

Greta considers herself a multidisciplinary visual artist continuing with her love of art through painting, costume and mask creation, sculpting and creating installations.
