About the Artist

PIWAKAWAKA PRINT by Jacqueline Anne Roper.

"I was inspired in this print to try to capture the cute and cheeky nature of our native fantail, amidst a backdrop of our native blossoms."

Jacqueline was born in Stratford, Taranaki New Zealand, and has been designing clothing since a very young age. As a talented designer, Jacqueline has spent many years crafting her skills in fashion and textile design, with a very successful career working in Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles….and eventually finding her way back home to Hamilton, New Zealand.Jacqueline has recently launched her own line of luxury womenswear, Jaqueline Ann Couture. She is also a keen rugby coach when time permits, and a bit of a fan of the All Blacks rugby team. Jaqueline is a direct descendant of Chief Te Mahutu and Te Waikaungarangi of the Te Āti Awa Iwi, from Pukerangiora Pa, in Taranaki. Jacqueline studied for three years at Te Wananga O Aotearoa, in Toi (Maori and indigenous art).

In Māori mythology the Pīwakawaka is a messenger. My grandmother always said that they were the spirits of our ancestors coming to visit. We live in a house with lots of Pohutukawa trees and love seeing the fantails fluttering around and following us through the garden- this always brings me comfort. I was inspired in this print to try to capture the cute and cheeky nature of our native fantail, amidst a backdrop of our native blossoms.
