My involvement in art has spanned the most part of my life with my art practice taking in a range of media including printmaking, painting, sculpture, fashion and ta moko (tattoo skin art). Particularly I have built up knowledge and experience in New Zealand, Pacific and Maori art and I have had the pleasure of being involved in curatorial and purchase of works for private and public collections.

More recently (2010) I completed a book entitled 'Maori Art and Design' that tends to tie together my interest and experiences in customary Maori art. Check back for updates but please respect my rights as artist to ownership of the information and images on this site.

Feel free to email me directly if you wish to inquire further, Thanks for visiting, J
