Taiai is filled with passion, who looks at the world
and asks, “what next! …” Her culture lies deep within and the need for the feel of white sand between her toes excites her creative inner self. Her vision of each piece created depicts her background, her aiga and her values which gives richness of who she is. Taiai`s creative exploration and collaboration with designer Ronald Andreassend brings together different perspectives, cultures and contemporary art techniques to produce objects which are exquisite, delicate and unique. |
Taiai and Ronald first met while advising a group of Artists who were planning a Pacific Event in Amsterdam.
Taiai invited Ronald to several Pacific events as a photographer it was from her influence that he developed the passion for capturing the spirit, events and people in Auckland and became recognised as a photographer rather than an artist.
Taiai`s background in Business communications, Marketing and planning many high profile events as well as a life long passion for creativity blends well with Ronald`s background in Design, Art production and Object Making, as Chan Andreassend extensively in Art Shows and the Giftware, Homeware and Hospitality Industries where he was known for ceramics, resin and a passion for NZ Design often leading the market with designs which are still in production 10 years later.
