I grew up on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, the home of pounamu ( Jade ) where I and friends and family were always retrieving stones from rivers and beach.
My experience with Jade started with the Mountain Jade business where I learned the skill of Jade carving and after two years of this I decided to shift to Queenstown where I found employment at the Jade factory.
Here I could hone my skills before I decided to start carving from home in my own studio and have been doing so since 2002.
I will be at the market most saturdays and appreciate it if you check out my range of quality Jade pieces.

I am a trained Maori artist of Tainui decent and my hapu Is Ngati Kiriwai, saying that I am a proud Southlander born and bred. I have been carving and sculpting wood, bone and stone for over 25 years. Seven years ago I was gifted some pounamu (jade/greenstone) and ever since jade has become my medium of choice. I am available for commissions so please feel free to come down to the market on Saturday for a chat or you can contact me via email or phone.
