This page is an acknowledgement of my creative whakapapa or 'ancestry'. These people are who I consider to be my creative 'elders', or influential peers. They have, in some way, inspired my work either directly or indirectly. If you find something moving in my work, I direct you to these other artists, cultural leaders and thinkers who have moved me, mentored me & played a part in shaping the artist that I am. Where I have had the opportunity, I've added directions to their work.
