Kei te mihi nui ki a koe - greetings to you

Following the completion of a Toi Maori Course at Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) in 2005, Tania Gallop and Karena Shannon took up Tutor Shane Graham's challenge and set up their card making venture - Kõwhaiwhai Tõku Rua.

Their Kaupapa / Vision: "to promote Te Ao Maori and Toi Maori through the medium of Kõwhaiwhai." A passion for traditional and contemporary Kõwhaiwhai elements motivates their work which is inspired by the environment. All resources have been produced from their original designs.

While increased work and whãnau commitment saw Tania retire from the sales and marketing aspects of the business in early 2007, she continues to support and be involved in resource development as time allows.

Karena continues to develop, promote and sell KTR products throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand.
