Wāhine in Gold Series

The Wāhine in Gold Series celebrates the strength, beauty, and resilience of wāhine Māori through contemporary portraiture and illustration. Rooted in themes of identity, whakapapa, and cultural reclamation, each work honours the journey of reconnecting to ancestry while navigating the complexities of modern life.

Adorned with intricate gold detailing, the figures embody mana, protection, and transformation. Inspired by both personal experience and collective stories, the series reflects wāhine as nurturers, leaders, knowledge keepers, and protectors, each carrying the wisdom of those who came before them.

More than portraits, these works are expressions of connection, pride, and becoming, honouring the enduring presence and power of wāhine across generations.
