About Frederick Worrell

Kia ora, I’m Frederick Worrell, a UK-based Māori artist and designer. Originally from New Zealand, I’ve been living in Newcastle upon Tyne since summer 2022 after spending 8 years in London. My work blends my Māori heritage with contemporary design, and I often use convex mirrors and light to explore themes of identity, nature, and cultural connection.

My journey has taken me from interior and architectural design into full-time artistry, where I’ve been honored with opportunities such as representing Aotearoa New Zealand at the Asian Art Biennial in 2022-2023. I’ve also created commissioned works for prestigious spaces like the New Zealand High Commission in London and Newcastle Cathedral.

Living in the UK has deepened my connection to my roots, and my art continues to reflect the vibrancy of both Māori culture and the natural world. I’d love to connect with others who share a passion for art, culture, and collaboration.

In addition to my original works, I am open to commissions. I invite my clients to collaborate on custom pieces that bring a touch of my distinctive artistry into their personal or professional spaces. Whether through my own creations or my community-driven projects, I remain dedicated to inspiring and enriching the artistic landscape of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and beyond.
