About the Artist
I am a māma, artist and curator based in Te Tairāwhiti.
As an artist I am currently interested in the freedom and magic
of creating our own stories based on fantasy and nostalgia and extending pūrakau as a means of contributing to a more hopeful and empowered future for our mokopuna.
