He taught me perspective and drawing skills. I got plenty of drawing and singing (waitaia, haka) learning from my teacher Mr Maui Rivers of his Ngapuhi iwi, a similar culture to my Maoridom, at my South Auckland primary school and Otahuhu College. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Art was all that I excelled in. &nbsp;Fast forward\u2026 when I became crippled again in 2000, I figured that\u2019s it, I\u2019m buggered, couldn\u2019t work anymore as a quirky innovative art teacher at FAC. There\u2019s no Disability Access. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I began my own art Gallery in my cottage. &nbsp;It has been a success. I was a bush curator and hanger, twisting a piece of wire onto a venetian blind chord, and it\u2019s up.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;My two art signs hang chained to my verge tree.
