Born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1976, Regan Manihera Dahl (Ngati Tuwharetoa) studied Contemporary Maori Art and Design at Victoria University in Wellington.
'My Art is inspired from natural elements, a product of growing up in New Zealand. The mountains, forests, lakes, winds, and volcano’s.
I started travelling in 1999 and spent a great deal of time in Australia, Canada and the United States before arriving in the UK in 2004 where I still live with my wife and family.
In the past 10 years I have spent a great deal of time on the water, both coastal and at sea enjoying my other passion sailing. This has had a great influence on my most recent art pieces.'
