My Community Work

I paint murals for a living, I have a bread and butter job that works well with my passion for people and art. Special mention to Manukau Beautification Charitable Trust for the working opportunities to develop as an artist, as a facilitator and a director. I founded a mural art initiative called Painting for the People. An non profit organization that is South Auckland, New Zealand based, creating awareness of the social issues our people are faced with.
