Jamie began his career as an Illustrator/Graphic Designer in Wellington, during which time he contributed artworks to various exhibitions within the Wellington region. In 2001 he returned home to his roots and now resides in the Eastern Bay of Plenty where he is working as a Fine Artist.
Through these years he has proactively sought opportunities to contribute to positive initiatives, utilising his artistic skills, to create opportunities for Maori, and in particular Maori youth. Jamie has worked as lead designer for a number of high profile social marketing campaigns, including the development of the ‘Te Mana’ brand, and the promotion of Auahi Kore (Smokefree). Locally he has created and delivered artistic workshops to schools and created a series of learning resources for schools.
Jamie has since exhibited in a number of locations throughout New Zealand and is currently working on a series of new works for his next solo exhibition titled "Mauri Ora Breath of Life".
