Ana Krakosky, a member of Te Atiawa, holds close the legend that her people are descended from the sky. She carries this with her into her work—crafting with care, seeing unlimited potential, making thoughtful choices, challenging herself, and above all, loving what she does. Through her practice, Ana aims to create pieces that speak to others about the beauty in life and the world around us. She finds joy in working with the strength of pounamu, in feeling it between her fingers as she shapes and molds it into something to be treasured and valued.
