Hineaorangi Pakaua is a full time multidisciplinary hautūtū, creating is immersive and necessary for her. Since studying at Te Wānanga o Raukawa, she has been leaning into mahi toi Māori, focusing on whakairo and playing with whenua pigments from around the motu. She takes inspiration from everything and everywhere all the time, but especially whakapapa, kōrero tuku iho, light and te taiao.
