Māori Art Created with Aroha – $48

Plk-toi Māori Art by Paige

Kia ora, Neighbourly whānau!
I’m Paige, an 18-year-old Māori artist studying at Waikato University. I create authentic Māori artwork inspired by my whakapapa, whenua, and the stories of my whānau. Art keeps me grounded in my culture and helps support my studies as I work towards a future supporting tamariki in our community.

This piece is created with aroha, intention, and deep respect for our culture.
Price: $48

If you’d like to support a young local artist and bring meaningful Māori art into your home, I’d love to share my mahi with you. Ngā mihi nui!

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

When tourists take over the streets and parking disappears, where do you find your calm?
Or is summer’s hustle something to enjoy rather than escape?
