About the Artist
Creativity has always been part of who I am. From painting and photography to sewing and refurbishing, I’ve explored countless mediums to bring ideas to life. Over time, this passion grew into a collection of contemporary home décor, art, and photography—pieces designed to bring beauty, depth, and meaning into every space.
My Māori Collection
Incorporating my Māori heritage is a deliberate choice that connects me to my whakapapa (genealogy) and shares the rich stories, symbols, and artistry of my culture. Inspired by the wisdom of my ancestors and the teachings of Kura Kaupapa Māori, each piece is a modern tribute to Māori strength, resilience, and spirituality.
A Mission of Connection
My goal is to create work that inspires, educates, and connects. For Māori living worldwide, these pieces offer a way to stay linked to their roots and share our culture with others—whether it’s a Hei Tiki print for protection, a work that speaks to whakapapa, or art that sparks conversation.
Where Art Meets Heritage
This collection reflects my ongoing creative journey, blending tradition with modern design. Every piece is made with passion and respect, ensuring it carries both beauty and meaning.I invite you to explore, find what speaks to you, and bring our stories into your home.
