Stunning
“A 21st gift for my niece returning to Aotearoa for her grand parents unveiling. The colours are both land and sky scape like. A visual and energetic connection for her to home. The in carved koru clinched the deal for me. She absolutely loves it. Couldn't wait to show her parents, friends and whanau in Brisbane.”

Donna Summers
The artist behind this creationDonna Summers embarked on her jade carving journey in 2019 after being encouraged by artist Ric Moor, her mentor and fellow carver.
After spending four years at the prestigious Whitecliff College of Arts and Design, her passion for detail and love of the arts made the transition to jade carving a natural progression.
A fundamental symbol in Māori art, the koru symbolises life and creation, with its fluid circular shape conveying the idea of everlastingness.
The Koru
The koru is a beloved symbol throughout Aotearoa, seen painted on tipuna (meeting houses), waka (canoes), in traditional Tā moko (Māori tattooing) and on wood and greenstone carvings. Pounamu artists use the koru pattern in many different ways; often introducing it as surface-etching or detail into other forms and shapes. It is though to depict new beginnings, life and hope.
