Little Mahuta

Little Mahuta is about change. It is about new beginnings, strength and growth. 

Little Mahuta is about harnessing everything that was, is and can be. 

It is about experiencing life, grounding yourself and seeing it from the eyes of 'Bebs'.   

LIFE is pretty amazing to a child. Living in a world of firsts, wrapped in astonishment.  The goal is to create artwork that captivates just that.  The Muse being the smile on our children's faces.  

Little Mahuta designs specifically but not solely for children.  The smile of a child is genuine and rings true.  Art selection is as a rule is a very personal thing.  Irrespective of age, to do so for another means you truely know them and what they love.  Artwork that has been sourced with a particular person in mind is not only amazing to receive but just as rewarding to gift.  The smile that beams back at you when you gift a hand picked and/or personalised piece designed for your special little someone is priceless. 

The amazing feeling of gifting art can be multiplied when doing so for a child by  .... hmmm, lets see ....  at least "Infinity + 1"  

Why?  - Easy.   As if they didn't already know it, they do now, and everyday that it is on display they will be reminded ....  

Because, you are you are that special, Little Mahuta!

Let There
Be Light

Māori creation mythology tells of how before light existed in the world, Ranginui and Papatuanuku were bound together in a marital embrace.

But their children, including their strongest son Tāne Mahuta, felt trapped in the darkness of the world and began to crave light and space.

One day, frustrated, Tāne Mahuta thrust his powerful legs upwards and pushed his father away from his mother forever.  In doing so, the earth was bathed in light which in turn brought about new life.  

The legend of Tāne Mahuta can be interpreted as an analogy to parenthood.  As a parent we willing make sacrifices.  Our strength of self is often tested.  Just like Tāne Mahuta, we want "new life" to prosper.  

"We Can't Stop Looking At You."

Are Today
