Luke Gardiner

Luke Gardiner has always called the West Coast home, and his connection to the land is shown in each of his carvings. As a self-taught artist, Luke finds his inspiration from the beauty in nature and has been carving from this ‘source’ for over ten years. An essential part of his process is to assess each piece of pounamu and let the spirit and energy of the stone form the design.

Luke prefers to use greenstone that is flawless, translucent, and of exceptional quality—a tribute to his deep love of Pounamu and the spiritual energy it holds.

Luke’s carvings and sculptures are of the highest quality, and his reputation for exquisite craftsmanship and incredible finishing ensure that you are buying a taonga that is precious and worthy of being passed on to future generations.
