Symphony Morunga
(Ngāpuhi - Ngāti Kaharau, Ngāti Hau)

Symphony enjoys the creative areas of tā moko, whakairo and graphic design. She loves studying and using the patterns within these art forms in her own work and she also likes to create her own anime characters and give them Māori characteristics.

Symphony is a self-taught tā moko artist and while she uses contemporary tools and materials, her designs are often based on traditional patterns. Her whakairo techniques are based on Ngāpuhi and Tainui methods.
