Kia ora my name is Jeffrey Bowlin,
I was born and raised in Little Waihi on the western shores of Lake Taupo, I’m the 5th child of 9 siblings.
My wife and I have 7tamariki, 7mokopuna, (waiting patiently for our 8th one to arrive) amazing son inlaws, and daughter inlaw. We reside in Whakatane.
I’ve had the privilege of creating and designing in Oamaru Stone & Native wood for 15years, I’m self-taught, what inspires me is creating
unique pieces, based on creation, natural beauty, and utilising the resources to maneuver the outcome of the Taonga (Sculpture)."
