Kia ora 

 I am from Aotearoa, fifth generation Pākeha. 

However, I have spent over half my life in Wales and for half of that life I was a teacher of Art, Design and Technology. 

I returned to Te Waipounamu ten years ago to write, make music and make art. Painting , drawing, printing, assemblages and so on. 

I like mythologies and illustration.  

I do not like injustice and unfairness. 

I love Te Pataka o Rakaihautu and Whakaraupō. 

It is from these themes that I draw my inspiration.  

I am a member of the Rei collective in Lyttelton.
