Artist's bio
Fern is of Ngati Porou and Tainui descent. She grew up in West Auckland in a proudly bi-lingual home speaking both Maori and English equally. Fern has followed her dream of becoming a visual artist, and being a proud descendent of both Mäori and Päkehä, she has grown up as an urban Mäori. Fern explores traditional Maori patterns to create works that speak to both languages. This graphic is representative of connection and forming a bond, with either nature or people. The design has been given a Te reo name, which allows the wearer to connect on different levels.
