Artist Profile
Watching his uncle carve extraordinary works of art from wood inspired Jason’s journey into jade carving. Under the expert guidance of Tamaora Walker and Akapita Scally, he is swiftly emerging as an exciting new artist and strives to create his own masterpieces with pounamu.
Driven to tell stories through his carvings, he takes inspiration from toi Māori (Māori art) and pushes his limits daily to embody his pieces with depth and meaning. Jason is from Ngāti Pikiao.
