ARTIST STATEMENT
Born in the Hutt Valley of Wellington as a sixth generation New Zealander, my work is grounded in a deep reverence for Māori culture and traditions, and my own heritage. My practice reflects a profound connection to Aotearoa’s natural world and cultural identity—drawing from both my New Zealand and Celtic roots to explore themes of connection, spirituality, and belonging.
