Tings is an incredible force of nature. True to her Toi name, Tings has forged a path of her own making, carrying with her the legacy passed down to her by her father Gordon Toi. With a keen eye on creating distinct shapes that compliment the body and an unwavering passion for the work she was surrounded by throughout her upbringing, Tings upholds te mauri o Niwareka in every line she etches into all her canvases.
Having established Mau Te Rongo and co-founded Ngā Manu a Toi, Tings stands as a shining example of the importance of wāhine led spaces.
