My name is Rawiri Koia,

I have spent the last 12 years learning about the art of Maori wood carving; A few years ago i started doing Ta Moko using my knowledge and incorporating my skill from Whakairo (wood Carving) applying the designs and history onto the skin. It is with great pleasure that i join the experienced team at Otautahi to further my career as a Ta Moko artist.
