Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa, Te Ātiawa ki Taranaki, Vaiala and Safune, Samoa

I create tāonga using off-cuts from master carvers.  The unique personality of each off-cut is where I draw my inspiration from. It’s almost as if each piece is a tūpuna,  directing and guiding my hands to bring out and accentuate the beauty that was always there.
