All of my art work has its foundations grounded in Māori heritage. I enjoy working with wood, especially New Zealand native timbers. Colour harmony and working with colour combinations is another passion. My work is always influenced by my surrounding environment, whether in New Zealand or living overseas. I enjoy using art to connect and learn about other cultures. I see my role as an artist; also as a potential bridge builder, cultural broker, and teacher.

“Art can be a window into which different cultures can understand and learn from one another.”
