Tawhanga is a Māori artist who hails from the paradise of Rotorua/Te Arawa. Although predominately known for his taa moko background, Tawhanga can do many other forms of Māori art, all of which he excels at. We delve into some of his early influences, how much the place of his birth and upbringing has shaped the man he is today and how mistakes from the past are great teachers for the present and future, among other topics.
