KIA ORA WHANAU,
I WANTED TO USE THIS PLATFORM TO SHOWCASE MY OTHER MAHI AND TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT, IN ADDITION TO REDAZ CLOTHING, I ALSO HAVE A FEW OTHER TALENTS, INCLUDING DIGITAL DESIGNING AND PAINTING MURALS, ALONG WITH A SEASONAL KIWIFRUIT JOB AS A LABORATORY TECHNICIAN.
MY FIRST MURAL WAS FOR A KURA KAUPAPA WHICH I ALSO WAS ABLE TO DESIGN THEIR LOGO.
(KURA WAIORA)
SECOND I WAS GIVEN THE OPPURTUNITY TO PAINT THE TE ARAWA WAKA FOR ANOTHER KURA OUTSIDE NEAR THEIR POOL, WHICH I FELT A STRONG CONNECTION TO BECAUSE SWIMMING WAS MY #1 SPORT GROWING UP. IT ONLY FELT RIGHT.
MY MOST RECENT MURAL I PAINTED TAKARO TRIBE FOR A KOHANGA.
I ACTUALLY DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL, YEAR 13 MY LAST YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL TO PERSUE MY ART DREAM AND I COULDNT BE MORE HAPPIER WITH THAT DECISION I MADE.
MY PASSION FOR ART IN ALL ITS FORMS BEGAN AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. IT WASNT TILL I GOT OLDER THAT I BEGAN TO USE MY TALENTS AND COME OUT OF MY SHELL.
MY BROTHER (XAVIER ORMSBY) IS ALSO A MULTI TALENTED ARTIST, WHO HAS BEEN RIGHT BY MY SIDE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF REDAZ, SUPPORTING ME WITH DESIGNS AND IDEAS ETC.
BEING A PERFECTIONIST, SELF-RELIANT, AND QUITE TIMID, THIS IS HOW I EXPRESS MY TALENTS AND PERSONALITY THROUGH MY MAHI.
MY FAMILY HAS A STRONG ARTISTIC/CREATIVE BACKGROUND, SO IT WAS ONLY FITTING THAT I CONTINUE.
I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES I HAVE BEEN GIVEN AND THOSE CLOSEST TO ME, BELIEVING IN ME.
"LIFE IS TOO SHORT" WHANAU
NGA MIHI - MADAYSHA ORMSBY
❤️❤️❤️
