Contemporary Māori Artist
I have been really getting into my painting practice over the past few months and I am so grateful to everyone who has already purchased one of my original pieces!
I am also now taking custom personalized commission orders for my paintings based on your story/kaupapa, your ideal budget and your color scheme, you can email me on taryn.teuira@gmail.com to enquire about your own personalized color therapy painting!
Thank you for supporting my art practice!

It has long been one of my goals to get back into painting and I am thrilled to have begun this journey of reconnecting with PAINT and COLOUR over the past four or so years.
Before I was a moko artist, I was a painter!
I loved my time at Toihoukura Māori Art School in Gisborne during 2008 where I learned a lot about painting and Māori design.
I also use and apply a lot of what I learned from my moko mentor, whom I studied with for three years (2009 - 2011), in my painting practice.
I now have several original paintings available for purchase in a range of different sizes and prices.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAS BOUGHT ONE OF MY ORIGINAL PAINTINGS SO FAR, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TAUTOKO AND SUPPORT!

'Call on them and they shall appear'.
I have books coming out soon!
Live taonga pūoro at the opening night created a wonderful ambience.
Big thanks to everyone that came along to the opening night at The Sound Temple!
'Hiwa i te rangi, your hearts desire'.

It was a great feeling finally have my first solo show after all these years of being a working artist!
Big thanks to The Sound Temple for hosting the exhibition.

I love doing large scale paintings! The more I do, the more I want to do!
Spoken word poetry performance at the opening night, with taonga pūoro accompaniment by Jerome Kavanagh.
'The many radiant descendants'.
Giving an artist talk on all the paintings and the concept for the exhibition.
Having my own solo show has been on my mind for the past couple of years, so I am thrilled to finally be doing it next month in Perth, Australia! More details about the opening event on 13th July 2017 will be coming soon.
As the exhibition will be showing for a long time (three months) I am also planning on having at least one other special event in the exhibition space at a later date, after the opening. These special events will most likely include live spoken word poetry readings and taonga puoro sound experiences, among other awesome stuff I am yet to cook up!
Big gratitude goes out to Dawn and John at The Sound Temple! The venue is truly beautiful and unique and I am honoured to be hanging my work in the space for three months!
If you are in the Perth area I hope that you are able to get along and check it out with your friends and whānau!
