Caleb & Jackie Kutia

Caleb and Jackie Kutia are the artist duo behind Tekotiri Ltd, a Māori creative business specialising in hand-carved taonga inspired by whakairo and modern storytelling. As young parents, their daughter and whānau journey are central to their work, blending traditional Māori design with contemporary aesthetics. Each piece reflects their values—love, resilience, and whakapapa—and serves as a bridge between past and future. Their work not only celebrates identity but also invites others to discover their own warrior spirit. Together, they honour their tīpuna by carving stories that live, breathe, and grow with each generation.
