Toa meaning brave, courage, warrior - embodies strength without hesitation. The wahine’s gaze is steady and uncompromising, a challenge and an invitation. Her moko kauae asserts whakapapa and authority, while te whatu manawa - the mark of deep intuition on her brow, signals perception that extends beyond the visible world.

The bold palette of reds, blues, and oranges radiates vitality, each colour layered over textured depths that suggest years of lived experience. She is not in transition but fully present, resolute in her being. Within this body of work, she stands as a pou — fierce, attuned, and unwavering.

Available as limited edition prints
