Morgan is extremely ambitious and continues to find and explore new ways of creative expression. Her earliest art form was pencil sketches, which developed into exploring painting in various mediums while studying at Toihoukura. She was then trained as a tattooist by a collective of skilled artists at Expression Tattoo and Art Gallery and externally mentored by local tohunga who have helped integrate Māori narrative and traditional forms into her work.
From Morgan’s website for her studio, Kaitiaki… The principles of kaitiakitanga run through everything we do. We have a deep and personal connection to every artwork we create, and we are dedicated to building authentic, meaningful relationships with our clients.
“I am passionate about working on projects with purpose; projects where my work can make a genuine difference to our clients, no matter who they are.”
“My artwork provides connections for our clients, and I love seeing people engage with the pieces that resonate with them.”
