The Toi Space

We are a couple of wahine Māori creatives who have turned our hobby into a small toi business. Our art is all hand-painted, custom pieces inspired by traditional Māori art-forms, stories and themes. Our art is ultimately about connection – to whakapapa, to whenua and to each other.

We are relatively new to the world mahi toi, however we have become enthusiastic about this mahi and the place that it has in our lives. It has provided a platform for learning, a creative outlet for self-expression and also a common space for two parents to reconnect as we wade through the challenges of life.
