Your images are just fascinating in the way they connect to traditional wisdom. I would like to see a fuller picture of the context/building on which they are painted.

This is beautiful and very meaningful. I love how the "roots" spread out and continue spreading throughout the mural.
I love the way Maori motifs are a living art and grow and update and incorporate modern ideas and
colour. It keeps it so relevant and always able to communicate. Great mural and stuff to think about.
Street art with a meaning.
It is a beautiful mural. I think the tree is The tree of life. :)
Three wonderfully meaningful murals Amy. One of these days I'm going to look into my family history, bit nervous at what I might find 😉
The mural is a beautiful one visually and the ideas it expresses even better. I absolutely love learning the Maori words that you teach us and knowing more about their wisdom.
Interesting artwork.
I love the murals. I think they give insight into Maori culture.
