Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa, Te Āti Awa ki Taranaki, Vaiala and Safune Samoa  

I create taonga using offcuts from master carvers. The unique personalities of each offcut 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.
