May the love that is between us
remain as constant as the tide,
as warm as the sun,
and as precious as the morning.  

Ka rite tonu tō tāua aroha
ki te rere o te tai
ki te mahana o te ra
kia  puiaki pēnei i te ata

It is a blessing and acknowledgment of deep love and connection - It could be romantic love, the love between friends or the love that is within the home and family. Whenever you see this print, you will be reminded of the deep love you share with another. The koru design around the words is about the intertwining of lives, and the tui are the protecting spirits of trust and love.

Amber Smith is a ceramic artist and printmaker who honours her connection to Ngāti Wai through her child. 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.
