Artist's Description

As a visual follow-up to Koia Nei Te Wā (This is the time), this piece reveals the full face of a Māori wahine who stands with strength, pride, and grace.

Adorned with a moko kauae (traditional Māori chin tattoo), a sacred mark of whakapapa and womanhood, she carries the presence of generations before her. The Huia feather in her hair signifies nobility and leadership, while her pounamu (greenstone) earrings are a timeless symbol of connection to whenua (land) and ancestors.

Her piercing green eyes are intentional — a nod to her European heritage, honouring the layered identity that many in Aotearoa share. This piece speaks directly to those who navigate both Māori and Pākehā worlds, and to anyone embracing the richness of being more than one thing at once.

Why You'll Love It:

  • Empowering Storytelling: A personal yet universal statement about identity and self-acceptance.

  • Culturally Grounded: Honours traditional Māori symbolism with a contemporary design approach.

  • Striking Visual Presence: Bold lines and meaningful detail draw the eye and start conversations.

  • Perfect for Gifting: Ideal for wāhine toa, daughters, friends, or anyone on a journey of self-discovery.

  • Locally Created: Designed in Aotearoa with heart, cultural integrity, and authenticity.

This print belongs in spaces where identity is celebrated — homes where whakapapa is treasured, offices or clinics that serve Māori communities, or as a powerful gift for someone embracing who they are. Whether you see yourself in her features or simply feel drawn to her story, Ko Tēnei Au offers a visual declaration: I am proud of where I come from — and this is me.

Hang it with purpose. Honour who you are.
