Ko wiri toku maunga, Ko Manukau toku moana, Ko Manurewa toku turangawaewae, No Airangi me Ingarangi me, Peina toku tipuna, Ko ngati pakeha toku iwi, Ko Peguero toku hapu, Ko Bernie Ahau

I completed my Degree in Te Maunga kura Toi in 2013 after three previous years, studying under Bibbins Tangitu, in Tauranga Moana. I am now living in the Coromandel where the landscapes inspire work reflecting the constantly changing vistas. I was born in South Auckland in a farming community where I learnt the values of living on the beautiful whenua that I had the privilege to grow up on. I am now looking forward to creating new works from home, now study is completed.
