In the stillness of the cold night, Aoraki stands as a beacon, bathed in the gentle glow of the whetū of Matariki. The air is rich with the ancient whispers of the tipuna, echoing the traditions of the tangata whenua, the people of this land. Under the watchful gaze of Ranganui, our Sky Father, and Papatuanuku, our Earth Mother, the stars serve as guides, illuminating the path forward.

Matariki is a precious time, steeped in meaning and tradition. It serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life and the responsibilities we share. As the stars align once more, they herald the right moments for planting and harvesting, ensuring our well-being through the changes of the seasons.

This time of year invites reflection on the past, allowing us to honour those who have left us while gathering with our whānau to share stories and dreams. It is an opportunity to set intentions and make plans for the year ahead, blending the wisdom of our ancestors with our aspirations for the future.

Though the original artwork inspired by this season has found a new home, limited edition prints remain available. Please reach out with your preferred size for a personalized quote.
