MIHIMIHI

My background and upbringing starts in nelson, where i was born but i moved to a small city called blenheim when i was about 2 or 3 years old, my mother is kiwi and my father is italian and my siblings and i were raised with a very italian culture because of this, my father speaks fluent italian and i was taught to speak a little bit when i was younger but have forgotten most of it now. we lived at the feet of the wither hills at the bottom of a beautiful valley with creeks running all the way through it so my brothers and i would build tree huts in the forests and pretend to fish in the creeks. my mother used to be an artist before she had us children and she had an art studio in our house so i was always exposed and interested in painting, drawing basically anything to do with art. this is what drew me to massey, i want to one day be able to make a living from doing the thing i love, making art
