Ana Krakosky finds immense joy in working with the strength of Pounamu, savouring the tactile experience of shaping and moulding it into treasured pieces of lasting value.
As a skilled hand-carver of Pounamu jewellery and a proud member of Te Ātiawa, Ana draws inspiration from her heritage, which carries the legend of her people’s descent from the sky. This connection fuels her commitment to crafting with great purpose, ensuring her creations embody worth, precision, and limitless potential. She embraces challenges and approaches her work with a deep sense of passion and love.
With a background in design and education, Ana is a multifaceted artist driven by an ongoing desire to master new techniques. Her fascination with architecture and design stems from a keen eye for proportions and clean lines, which also influence her artistic practice. As a furniture maker, product designer, painter, metalsmith, and jade carver, her diverse body of work tells the story of her journey through various mediums.
Ana strives to create pieces that resonate with others, reflecting the beauty of life and the world. Each creation serves as a moment captured in time - an echo of the past, a glimpse of the present, or a vision of the future. Her work speaks not only for herself but for those who came before her and those yet to come.

"I try to create pieces that speak to others about the beauty in life and the world around us. My work is a reflection of my life in a moment past, a snapshot of the present and/or a snippet of the future. It speaks not only for me, but for all those who have gone before me and those who will come after me. I love working with the strength of pounamu and the feel of it between my fingers as I shape and mold it into something someone will treasure and value."
