About me

Welcome to my store!

Hi, I’m Meena. Growing up on my parents’ small farm in Thailand, I developed a deep love for nature, animals, and adventure. My sister and I spent our mornings paddling in the pond, collecting duck eggs for our mum to sell in the neighborhood. Our weekends were filled with biking through the bush and climbing trees, led by our curious spirits. My grandmother was my mentor, teaching me to identify mushrooms and spot snakes, bees, and wasps, while my dad shared his wisdom on caring for animals and planting trees.

Sadly, urbanization gradually transformed our town, leading to the loss of wildlife and the once-vibrant bush areas that had been our playground. But in New Zealand, I’ve found a rural paradise that feels like a return to my childhood. Nature is right at my doorstep, and the fresh air, beautiful bird songs, and peaceful surroundings reignite the joy I once felt. It’s this deep connection to the natural world that continuously inspires my art.

Before coming to New Zealand, I had originally planned a gap year to backpack around the country on my own. However, I quickly fell in love with the peacefulness and natural beauty of New Zealand. During the Covid period, I decided to extend my stay and found a new passion—my art. What started as a hobby has blossomed into a creative outlet, allowing me to craft pieces that truly reflect my love for nature and wildlife.

Living in this stunning country has become a constant source of inspiration for my artwork. I’m lucky to create earrings that celebrate the birds and the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand. Each piece tells a story and connects with the beauty that surrounds us. As I craft these earrings, I aim to capture the essence of the birds and the tranquility of nature that I cherish so much.

Step into my creative world where I merge the memories of my past with the vibrant charm of New Zealand’s nature.
