Kapden_Niro Bio
Maori born in New Zealand and raised in a neat little town called Hastings. The population is not very large but a great place to grow up and raise my own children. I spent forty years in New Zealand doing what the average person does and thats taking care of business, worked long hours and raised my kids. As always, after everyone taking a piece of the pie, there was hardly anything left for me but sit and do what I love, and thats draw Maori art designs.
I come from a long line of Maori heritage and my father bless his heart had the time and patience to teach myself and siblings everything he knew to do with maoritanga. My mother was the parent that did all the disciplinary stuff but she taught us down to earth values and we hold onto her teachings.
Everything that my parents have taught us came from their hearts and to this day, all of us teach our own children.

My iwi/tribes are Ngati Kahungunu and Tuhoe. They are situated in North Island of New Zealand and the pride that I feel reflects in my artwork. I have incorporated the tribal designs with modern art and they are unique pieces. There are many mood designs that change from day to day, other designs are everyday things that we see but my style depictions are completely transformed.

I now live in America with my beautiful husband, and words cannot express my gratitude for his un ending time and patience and help with my artwork. He is my driving force and inspiration towards the designs that are drawn. From the time we met to this day, his belief in me is powerful and strong and he encourages me to keep moving forward.
Thank you sweet heart.

Black & White Designs

Using black pen on white sheets is a huge preference for many people as well as myself. It gives people the chance to see what the designs look like before any shading and colour effects are added. The descriptions to each of the designs are very brief but rest assured, if there is a design you wish to purchase, we will give you a full meaning along with the design.
