As a child, I was a big admirer of artists who succeeded, through their art, to give life to wood, stone or canvas.
I wanted to experience it myself but the family tradition was stronger than me. So I became an engineer, expressing my creativity by melding metal.
Years later my first love claimed its right and I graduated the Folk Art School, the sculpture department.
“The tapestries that you have created are really wonderful. Surely there are few people at this moment to understand the contemporary art as profoundity as you do.”
"Your tapestries are beautiful and certainly look different from what are used to seeing here in New Zeeland. The shapes are wonderful."
"I visited your site. Congratulations, your tapestries are beautiful"
"Thank you for introdusing us to your beautiful tapestries"
