Plk-toi Māori Art by Paige

Kia ora, Neighbourly whānau!
My name is Paige, and I’m an 18-year-old Māori artist based right here in our community. I create authentic Māori art inspired by my whakapapa, whenua, and the stories passed down through my whānau. Art has always been my way of staying grounded, connected, and proud of where I come from.

I’m currently studying at Waikato University, working towards a future where I can support and uplift tamariki. My goal is to work with children especially those who need extra care, guidance, and positive role models. Every piece of art I create helps me continue my studies while keeping me connected to my culture and the values that guide me.

Every piece is made with aroha, intention, and respect for our culture.

If you’d like to support a young local artist and help me on my journey to working with children in our community, I would love to create something meaningful for you.

Ngā mihi nui for supporting Māori art and young talent in your neighbourhood.
