THE HON. RT H.M.H.V. has become the legendry mascot travelling NZ for Children's Art
In 1999 when the sails of the Rainbow Warrior were given to the North Shore Children's Art House Jetse and his parents made THE RAINBOW DRAGON OF PEACE an Asian style dragon carried by 11 people which comes out to celebrate the significant events when children celebrate their creativity across the country. The dragon has traveled New Zealand and danced to celebrate in 2016 in the Government Gardens when the Rotorua Children`s Art House opened. Jetse went on to study at University of Auckland and completed a degree in Architecture. He now lives in Detroit and works as a graphic designer.
