Limited Edition Print – Pekapeka tou-roa by Meretuahiahi Ward
Wahine Māori Artist | Black & White Ink Wash | Aotearoa Native Wildlife

Discover the nocturnal beauty of Aotearoa's rare and endangered long-tailed bat with Pekapeka tou-roa, a limited edition black and white ink wash print by wahine Māori artist and landscape designer Meretuahiahi Ward. This original artwork brings to life one of New Zealand's only native land mammals, celebrated for its delicate wings, pointed ears, and swift, silent flight.

Rooted in Meretuahiahi's whakapapa to Tainui, Te Arawa, Ngāi Tūhoe, and Te Whakatōhea, her work reframes how we see and engage with the natural environment. Meretuahiahi's Pekapeka tou-roa captures the mauri (life force) of this taonga species – a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to protect Aotearoa's unique biodiversity.
