Aroha Mai Aroha Atu
- Love is received, love is returned
Whakatauki (maori proverb)
The tui in this print fly in a circle, symbolising that Aroha isn't a single gesture, it moves, it flows, it comes back around. The love and kindness and care you put into the world finds its way back to you. For a home that wants that aroha feeling at its heart, for a wedding or someone you love, for anyone in your life you want to know 'The love that you give to me, I give back to you'.

Inspired by the natural beauty of Aotearoa, especially our native birdlife, her work celebrates te ao Māori and seeks to foster connection, understanding, and respect. Often drawing on whakataukī (proverbs) and waiata (songs), Amber combines te Reo Māori and English to create uplifting works that carry messages of love, hope, and self worth, creating meaningful pieces to gift yourself or someone special.
