Toi Kupu Gallery came about as a way to satisfy a creative streak.

For many years I appreciated the creative art processes which led to the design of bold statement jewellery.

This process allowed me to think about the concepts of turning kupu (words) into wearable art. It became a healing medium, keeping emotional hands busy.

Toi Kupu is a play on words — a way to convey a message, promote connectedness and bring healing.
