FINALIST IN THE
2021 KIINGI TUHEITIA PORTRAITURE AWARD.


My creative process is deeply intuitive—guided by feeling rather than foresight, with little pre-planning or attachment to outcome. As a tangata whenua, my Māori heritage and our connection to nature and the spirit world have helped to shape my world view and weaves itself into my art.
Symbolism and symmetry appear often in my work, acting as visual languages that transcend space and time—evoking meaning wherever you may find yourself in the universe.
