In my daily mahi, I am a mataora (change agent) who works particularly with tamariki and rangatahi. We should all encourage whānau who are creative, especially our tamariki and rangatahi. Support their creative flare so they too can fill the world with joy.
Kia ora, I’m Shane – raised in Waihi Beach and currently residing in Wānaka. I have been a full time freelance visual artist since 2015.
Whatever you do, don’t call me an artist! It has become such a wishy-washy term used to explain a huge variety of creative activities. For better or for worse..
I have considered myself to be an artist my whole life. It’s been an interest ever since I could hold a pencil at two and a half years old, when mum showed me how to draw circles.
I have a huge passion for all art
and love, the euphoric energy
that comes from creating art that brings joy to someone.
