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!

I am beyond excited about taking a selection of art works by the Toi Wāhine Collective to ORA NY GALLERY in NEW YORK CITY very soon! Included in the capsule collection will be original paperworks, open and limited edition art prints, contemporary taonga, jewelry and a film installation.
Special guest friends of the Toi Wāhine Collective will also be performing in the gallery space on both evenings. If you have friends and whānau in New York, please share this panui with them, and help us share some of our art with the world.
Thank you!
