I’m constantly drawn towards thoughts and concepts that lay outside of the physical world, realities that exist within the higher dimensions and the inner power of humans. You'll find alot of symbolism and symmetry in my work - languages that can span the universe and hold meaning wherever you are in the cosmos.

​

My culture also features heavily in my work. We have always been a deeply spiritual race, taking on the role of kaitiaki of the whenua, honouring our tūpuna, eachother and our traditions. These values guide my life and my art and I feel blessed to be able to spread the beauty of my culture.

AROHA NUI,
