“1995 was a major turning point in my life. It was a time where changes needed to be made if I was to move forward in life as I had been stuck in a rut for as long as I could remember. One of the biggest things for me was to set my pride aside as I reached out for help, and today due to the changes made in my life I feel a wholeness and worthiness within. Alongside this, my art practice helps to explore and depict my sense of Māoritanga and how I celebrate the Māori blood running through my veins.” - Tony Brown.
