Every mirror tells a story. I carve one of a kind mirrors featuring kΕwhaiwhai patterns. Crafted to reflect your identity, journey, and whakapapa.
Hand carved with meaning, each piece is a reminder of who you are and where youβve been.

Hope you are having a beautiful start to your week, hereβs a lovely piece I carved up over the weekend for a whanau in Auckland, NZ.
This mirror represents the lovely whanau, connection to their whakapapa and protection over their journey together through life.
Grateful to be able to bring these beautiful stories to life for some amazing people! Have a mean week ahead, keep creating. Much loveππ½
Check out this stunning Freehand Deer mirror carved for a whanau in Australia! Representing their connection and love for their whanau and the country upbringing in Aotearoa.
I made a goal to myself a year ago to never stencil a mirror again, no matter how long the draw up takes me. This has had such an improvement on my drawing and symmetry.
Very grateful to every single person who allows me to create such a special piece for their loved ones.
