Tena koutou katoa
Ko Ingarangi te whakapaparanga mai
Engari Ko Tauranga Moana te whenua tupu
Ko Tauranga Moana te kainga
Kei Tamaki Makaurau au e noho ana
Ko Reuben Lankshear au
Tena tatou katoa

I was born and raised in Tauranga Moana in the beautiful Bay of Plenty. Growing up surrounded by the harbour and the ocean beach, I has always found peace and well being insight of the ocean.
Currently, I reside in Tamaki Makaurau, I spend my leisure time with my children on or near the water.

This connection is never far from my inspiration and therefore artwork I create.

I am passionate about the education of creativity. I have taught students of all ages to help them to find an original, creative, unique solution. Whether in night classes & workshops, tertiary providers or secondary school I am always willing to pass on some gems of knowledge and passion.
