Lo Ant Coakley Ahau

My journey started with a weekend mission to collect Pounamu with my Taua Tilly Tainui. She inspried me to start carving our beautiful stone

I havea true passion for Pounamu, dedication and connection to my roots

My mahi continues to honour the spirit of Ngati Waewae and Poutini Ngai Tahu, ensuring tht the legacy of Pounamu endures for generations to come
