Hepi describes his work as being based on the gentle sweeping curves of ancient Maori art. Hepi's carving career began after a horrific accident cost him his legs and he was forced to look for an alternative means of earning his living. His pieces are now frequently commissioned for overseas dignatories and he is also invited to demonstrate his art at various forums throughout the world. An exhibition of his work was, for instance, recently held in Vancouver, Canada.
