THIS PRESENTATION IS ABOUT BRETT TUTAUANUI KENO. HE IS A N.Z STONE CARVING ARTIST AND SCULPTOR.

HE IS MARRIED TO CHRISTINE. THEY HAVE TWO KIDS. HE IS BORN IN N.Z AND LIVES IN UPPER HUTT CITY.

HE WHAKAPAPA'S TO NGAITERANGI, NGATI RANGINUI, AND NGAI TAHU.

HE FINDS INSPIRATION IN THE NATURAL WORLD AND ALSO THROUGH HIS MAORI HERITAGE. SO HE WILL ALWAYS INCORPORATE MAORI DESIGNS.

HE BEGAN CARVING IN JANUARY 2005. IT WAS HIS WIFE WHO SAW HE HAD A CREATIVE SIDE WHILE SEEING HIM DOODLE. LATER HIS WIFE SIGNED HIM UP FOR CARVING

HE USES LIMESTONE BECAUSE IT CAN BE READILY SHAPED, IT IS WHITE AND IT CAN BE EASILY SAWN. IT IS A FAVOURITE FOR MOST STONE CARVERS.

Many of his sculptures inspire me because of how much time and detail he puts into them and how he makes them true masterpieces.
