Artist Profile
The most recent carver to join our Rotorua studio, Makaire is the nephew of Tamaora Walker and is just beginning his journey into pounamu carving. Learning from the very best, he is soaking in knowledge and skills from his uncle and mentor, and developing his own unique style as a pounamu artist. Makaire’s eye for clean lines and his care and respect for the craft, are already evident in his work.
