Taimarino is a kairaranga and contemporary creative. She is deeply grounded in her community and marae in Te Mahurehure and has a commitment to seeking, learning and sharing knowledge around creative cultural practices and natural resource sustainability.  She draws upon generations of teachings and acknowledges the wananga spaces she's been privileged to be a part of as a source that has nurtured her learnings and love for Te ao Māori, Te taiao and Toi Māori. She is excited and passionate about supporting weavers in Te Taitokerau and being a part of understanding how we can do better, and do it alongside whānau, hapū and iwi.
