Waiora Mete-Cherrington
(Te Rarawa, Ngāti Wai, Ngāpuhi)

Waiora is interested in many areas of toi Māori, from visual arts to performing arts and many areas in-between. She enjoys singing and performing in kapa haka and she is also a painter who uses brushes, hessian, harakeke, pens and pencils in her craft. 

While Waiora has up until now been focused on kowhaiwhai, tukutuku and tā moko, she has recently become more interested in the processes of whakairo and taonga pūoro.
