Anaru Anderson

Anaru Anderson is a young Pounamu carver working on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. He is of Ngāti Porou whakapapa and has had an interest in Pounamu and carving from an early age, encouraged and taught by his father who is an established carver in his own right.

Anaru enjoys carving in a variety of styles and is committed to continually developing his skills and learning his craft. We are proud to have him on the Moko Pounamu team as he carries forward the artistry and traditions of his heritage.
