Hikurangi Art Exhibition

by Isobel Joy Te Aho-White

This Matariki mā Puanga season, Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne is proud to host a new exhibition by local artist and illustrator Isobel Joy Te Aho-White (Ngāti Kahungunu, Kāi Tahu, Ngāti Pākehā).

Based in Pōneke/Wellington, Isobel holds a Bachelor's degree (hons) in graphic design majoring in Illustration from Massey University.

Her work focuses on mana wahine, incorporating native flora, fauna and kowhaiwhai.

Having illustrated over 30 books, Isobel brings a wealth of experience to this latest series of works, created especially for Matariki mā Puanga at Zealandia.

"Ko Tawhirirangi rāua ko Ōteauheke ōku ngā maunga
Ko Mohaka rāua ko Awa Iti ōku ngā awa
Ko Takitimu te waka

Ko Waipapa-a-Iwi me Ōnuku ōku ngā marae,
Ko Ngati Pahauwera me Kāti Tarewa ōku ngā hapū
Ko Ngāti Kahungunu rāua ko Kāi Tahu ōku ngā iwi
Ko Ngāti Pakehā ki West Country UK me Denmark au 

No Whanganui-a-tara e noho ahau
Ko Isobel Joy Te Aho-White tōku ingoa.

Tītiro mai, tīhei mauri ora!"

The exhibition is open daily at Zealandia’s Visitor Centre over June-July at no cost.
