Using my art work as a vehicle, my long term mission is to help develop and promote an arts program designed specifically for local kids. All forms of art will be integrated into the program and will include performing and visual art as a way to encourage a creative outlet for troubled youth.
As a Kiwi I have been so fortunate to have been influenced as an artist by an ever-changing blend of diverse cultures living together in such a beautiful country. Each of us has a unique connection to the environment we live in. Our culture has a very special bond between Mankind and the Earth and I enjoy portraying this through my art.
My modern artworks are strongly influenced by this environmental ethos deriving from my Maori/Pakeha upbringing. I like to challenge social and cultural boundaries and unite them by embracing diversity.
Enjoy.
