Amber Smith is a ceramic artist and printmaker honouring her ties to Ngāti Wai through her child. Her words in te Reo Māori and English are wise and up-lifting, giving a beautiful feeling to the art of love, hope and self-worth - a positive message, to gift yourself or another.
Nature within Aotearoa, especially our native bird life, inspires Amber throughout all of her artwork.
