Kia Ora Bay of Plenty. I am of Te Atiawa and Ngai Tahu descent and have been practising visual art and fashion design for 20 years. I collaborated in Te Whare Tangata, the female essence exhibition in Tauranga, and feature on several of Ngai Tahu’s Te Panui Runaka covers.

In 2018 I graduated with my Bachelors in Creative Industries here in Tauranga. I received a special commendation award from Tauranga Art Gallery for my body of work at the graduate exhibition, exhibited ‘Te hā ō Waitaiki’ for the 2019 Waitangi weekend at the Incubator, and my latest venture ‘LOVSCH’ head wear apparel.
