Your Teacher

Mandy Patmore is a multi-media environmental artist and educator who lives in Karekare, on Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland’s west coast. She has a passionate relationship with her local environment and her work reflects this, looking at the past, present and future of our land; focusing largely on deforestation and habitat loss in Aotearoa. 

Patmore highlights the plight of many endangered native species, exploring the human impact on our landscape and themes of colonisation. In 2019, she managed a hugely successful research project on Pekapeka tou roa - Long Tailed Bats, linking artists with scientists, curating an exhibition in response to the project.

She is also the Creative Director for Kākano Youth Arts Collective, onsite at Corban Estate Arts Centre.
