Dorothy lives and works from the whānau homestead in Matapouri. Raised in both Māori and Pakeha ways, she was encouraged by both sides of her whānau to pursue her natural creative talents. Before her tertiary training, Dorothy danced with Te Kanikani o Te Rangatahi and Taiao Māori Dance. Teaching introduced Dorothy to Ngā Kaihanga Uku Māori Clay Workers Collective, Te Ātinga Contemporary Māori Visual Arts and Toi Māori Aotearoa. She currently works for Māori and indigenous artists’ networks as a kaimahi and ringa uku, supporting cultural creative aspirations through advocacy agencies including Toi Ngāpuhi.
