Had the pleasure of sitting down with Maddy, the artist behind Kahu Art.

Maddy is currently teaching at an international school in Japan which is a story within itself. After turning down a spot to go to ELAM, a fine arts university in NZ, and instead pursing Health and Physical Education, she thought her artist days were over.

It wasn't till 2018, with the amazing support from her Whanau that she created her first pieces of Kahu Art.

After creating these first pieces, she realized what she was passionate about; nurturing memories, deepening relationships, and celebrating one another by creating meaningful art with a story.

Since then she has created many pieces whether it is for new born babies, anniversaries, special birthdays and big milestones. Each new piece is as special as the last.

Maddy is such a kind and creative individual - whose artistic purpose is such an inspiration!
