Kimbra Taylor

Kimbra is an artist, tutor and facilitator.  She enjoys living in the small coastal community of Raumati South, with it’s proximity to the Akatarawas, the hills of the escarpment, and the low foothills flowing down to the dunes and the sea.

Kimbra values  the "out of city" lifestyle and is appreciative of being within an hour of Wellington city:

"It is home to, and supportive of many artists and musicians and has a proactive residents group. I feel at home here…..".
