Michel Tuffery was born in 1966 in Wellington, New Zealand, of Samoan, Cook Islander, and Tahitian descent. His current practice as a multimedia artist may only hint at his training as a printmaker at the Dunedin School of Art at Otago Polytechnic (1986–1989). His first exhibition, a series of black and white and color reduction woodcuts on tapa and paper, was held at the Tautai Gallery/Maota Samoa in Auckland in 1988. In 2008 Michel was made a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the Queen’s Honours List for services to the arts. For more information, please see his website: http://www.micheltuffery.co.nz |
