Meri Te Tai Mangakahia was a suffragist in NZ in the 1880’s.

Painted compleatly, finished to a high standard, streched and ready to hang.
I am a self taught artist and have been exhibiting and selling my art for about 12 years.
I come from an artistic family and was always encouraged to explore my creative side while growing up.
We lived in a very isolated area of the West Coast when I was young and had no electricity or modern convenience's.
I think that this played a large part in nurturing my creative side.
I am House Artist for the Riverside Cafe in Upper Moutere, Motueke.
They are open for nine months of the year, and my art is exhibited for most of this time.
